Why Sheri and Matt Chose Real Talk Over Therapy Titles
“We want you to learn from our mistakes... when people do participate in our groups, they are both the student and the teacher.”

The couple dives into their personal journey with alcoholism and recovery, sharing how their roles as 'students and teachers' have evolved over time. They open up about battling imposter syndrome and the pressures that come with expectations for answers.
Rather than sticking to traditional therapy models, they emphasize the power of group dynamics and mutual support in the recovery process.
