In this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, Sheri and Matt Salis tackle a topic that often slips under the radar - the impact of seemingly harmless comments about food on emotional safety.

Matt shares a story about a couple in recovery from alcoholism, revealing how well-intentioned comments can be misinterpreted and contribute to emotional insecurity. Sheri and Matt explore the modern challenge of maintaining emotional safety in a world dominated by social media and constant comparisons. They argue that the need for a safe haven at home is more crucial than ever, as technology erodes traditional boundaries.
Emotional safety, they suggest, is often the key factor in relationships, especially given the staggering divorce rates.
