We didn’t come here to relive the trauma.
We came to torch the rulebook

and tell the truth.

This isn’t therapy.
This is soul renovation.

One night. Two voices. A story you’ll never forget.

We’d like to invite you to a storytelling night about moving from

fear to freedom.

What happens when you wake up in the middle of your life and realize…
the story you’re living isn’t the one your soul came here to tell?

We're Matt and Dina

We got married young—trauma still fresh, no safety net,

and no idea what we were doing.


What followed was decades of trying to build

a life with broken blueprints.

Addiction.

Infidelity.

Grief.

Poverty.


Raising kids while losing ourselves.
Running from pain. Then turning to face it.

We didn’t just survive a hard marriage—

we dismantled an inherited story

and chose something entirely new.

For years, fear kept us from telling the truth.

Facing it became the key to freedom.

We stopped pretending.
We stopped performing.
We stood in the fire and let it change us.

This isn’t a highlight reel.
It’s a night of truth-telling—

for anyone who knows the old way has to die
if something real is going to live.

If that’s you,
we’d like to invite you to listen.

If this story speaks to something inside you…
We’d love to share this night with you.

From Fear to Freedom:

How the Truth Saved Our Marriage and Ourselves

Live Storytelling Event

October 10, 2025 @ 7pm

Location: All Souls Church

2222 South Cliff Ave

(And if your soul whispered “me too,” you’re in the right place.)

What other's are saying:

“You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll leave wanting to change something.”
—D. P.

“Raw, real, and surprisingly funny. I came expecting heaviness—and left feeling cracked open and completely inspired.”
—A. R.

“They don’t sugarcoat anything. They speak like they’ve lived it—because they have. Their story woke something up in me.”
—L. M.

The Truth We Tell

We tell the truth because it opens the door.

We don’t believe in vague inspiration. We believe in saying the hard things out loud—so other people don’t have to feel alone in their silence.

We’ve lived through:

Standing in a kitchen wondering if our marriage was over

Holding the weight of secrets that made our bodies sick

Pretending everything was fine while silently falling apart

Rebuilding trust after it was shattered—first in each other, then in ourselves

Parenting while grieving.

Staying when it was hard.

Leaving versions of ourselves behind.

We’ve lived through moments we didn’t think we could say out loud. And now… we say them. Because when we do, something shifts. In us. In you. In the space between.

This night isn’t about tips or takeaways. It’s about remembering what’s possible when someone else tells the truth—and it sounds like your own.

So if something in your story is aching to shift—
even if you can’t name it yet—you’re not here by accident.

We’ll go first.

You just need to listen.

If even one part of this story sounded like your own—
maybe this moment is your mirror.

Join us October 10 for a night of truth and freedom.

Sometimes the story you hear is the one your soul’s been waiting for.

Why This? Why Now?

You don’t know us.

That’s okay.
You don’t need to.

You’ve got a hundred ways to spend your evening.
Another task. Another screen.

Another thing that keeps the day moving forward.
But something brought you here.
And maybe that something is a quiet part of you wondering…
“Could there be more than this?”

But what if this night was something different?

What if this isn’t just about two people telling their story…
but about a part of you waking up inside of it?

Because whether or not you see it yet—
there’s a longing in so many of us right now.
A quiet ache. A low hum of “this can’t be it.”

Maybe you’ve been living inside a story that no longer fits—
a marriage that feels hollow, a life that looks fine but feels disconnected,
a version of yourself you’re still performing just to survive.

Or maybe you’ve already started waking up.
You’ve felt the nudge to burn the old rules and remember who you really are.
But you’re still standing at the edge of the fire—
unsure if it’s too late,
too hard,
or too lonely to start over.

We get it. Because we’ve lived it.

And that’s why we’re sharing this night.

Not to be inspirational.
Not to be impressive.
But to hold space for the kind of truth that cracks something open.

Because sometimes hearing someone else say
“We burned it all down and built something real…”
is the permission your soul’s been waiting for.

So why this night?
Because you’re not the only one.
And because you don’t have to do it alone.

This isn’t a performance. It’s a portal.


One that might help you recognize where you are—right now—in your own becoming.


And who you could be… if you finally let the old story go.

You didn’t find this by accident.
Maybe this is your turning point.

This feels like the start of something real!
