Summary
On this episode of Dear Future Wifey, Jimmy and Irene Rollins invite us into a raw and redemptive conversation about healing, faith, and freedom. Irene shares her journey of overcoming alcohol addiction and what it means to celebrate 10 years of sobriety. She opens up about the power of first admitting she was an alcoholic in order to receive help, and the joy of no longer needing that label as she walks in wholeness today.
Together, Jimmy and Irene reveal how radical transparency has allowed them to heal one another’s wounds and strengthen their marriage. They discuss their belief in a God who still works miracles—not only in supernatural ways but also through the miracle of new perspective, therapy, and counseling.
With wisdom drawn from their personal journey and their books, Jimmy and Irene offer hope for couples who long to experience restoration, freedom, and a love that endures.
