Chapter 3 Stigma

Health EN ↓ 75 episodes

Chapter 3 Stigma began as an answer to one question: What would you tell someone who is struggling with addiction right now? It is the original recovery podcast from Kyle Layne, author of the forthcoming memoir Chasing Control. Through honest conversations about addiction, faith, family, loss, sobriety, and repair, the show explores what it means to stop hiding, tell the truth, and become trustworthy again. The work continues through More Than Capable, where recovery becomes a broader practice of faith, discipline, community, and rebuilding a life that can hold the truth.
