Everybody takes punches. The comeback is the story.Can’t Catch a Break is a long-form interview podcast about resilience, perseverance, and the human ability to come back from the moments that were supposed to break us.Hosted by Reece Arthur, each episode sits down with someone who has been through a season when life simply would not let up. The circumstances are different—loss, addiction, illness, failure, heartbreak, career setbacks, unexpected change, or moments when everything seemed to fall apart—but the conversation doesn’t end with what went wrong.Because Can’t Catch a Break isn’t a pity party.We talk about the first punch. The hardest punch. Who was in their corner. What it really took to get back up. And how they’re punching back.These are honest conversations about the parts of resilience that don't always look inspirational while you're living them—the people who show up, the days you barely make it through, the decisions that change your direction, and the moment surviving ...

Season 2, Episode 4 — Finding Hope | Steve Feldman
For years, Steve Feldman found himself caught in a cycle of drinking, drugs, getting sober, and eventually relapsing. He knew what it was like to start over—only to find himself fighting the same battle again.
In this episode of Can’t Catch a Break, Steve opens up about those years, the repeated attempts at sobriety, and what finally began to change. Through recovery meetings, Steve found something he hadn’t expected: God, faith, and a renewed sense of hope.
This conversation isn’t about pretending the past didn’t happen. It’s about what can happen when you begin to believe your future can look different.
Steve’s story is proof that relapse doesn’t have to be the end of the story. Sometimes finding your way back takes more than one attempt—and sometimes, somewhere along the way, you find something worth holding onto.
🥊 Taking life’s punches and punching right back.

Season 2 — Episode 3: It Doesn’t Matter the Size of the Punch
Not every punch looks the same—and it doesn’t have to.
In this episode of Can’t Catch a Break, I sit down with the voices behind The Nothing Un-Touched Podcast for a conversation that truly lives up to their name. Nothing is off limits.
We talk about the punches life throws at us in all different forms—from divorce, parenting, relationships and dating to those everyday struggles that might not seem huge to someone else but can feel enormous when you’re the one living through them. Because the truth is, it doesn’t matter the size of the punch. If it’s big to you, it’s big to you.
We get into finding support, keeping things in perspective, having an outlet, laughing through the chaos, and somehow even end up discussing our mutual hatred of Lifetime movies. 😂
It’s real, funny, relatable, and completely unfiltered—the kind of conversation that reminds us that everybody is fighting something.

🥊 Season 2, Episode 2 — Cris Coniglio
 
I sat down with Cris Coniglio for a conversation about something we all need at some point in our lives—perspective, support, and somewhere to put the weight of what we’re carrying.
 
We talked about what it means to surround yourself with people who can support you when life gets heavy, while also finding something that gives you an outlet. For Cris, that became weightlifting and training. During some of the harder times in her life, the gym gave her somewhere to channel her energy, clear her head, and keep moving forward.
 
We also got into integrity, releasing the burdens we hold onto, and how sometimes the situation itself doesn’t change—but the way we look at it can.
 
I think there’s something powerful about finding that thing that brings you back to yourself. Maybe it’s lifting. Maybe it’s running, writing, music, faith, or simply having the right person to call. Whatever it is, you don’t have to carry everything alone.
 
Sometimes a stronger tomorrow starts with changing your perspective today.

SEASON 2 STARTS NOW. 🥊We’re kicking off a brand-new season of Can’t Catch a Break with Byron Irwin and a conversation about what success can look like when it becomes about more than just building a business.Byron and I talk about entrepreneurship, building something that lasts, and the responsibility that can come with success. But what really drives this conversation is giving back—especially creating opportunities, support, and a brighter future for children in the community.Because building a successful business is one thing. Using what you’ve built to make somebody else’s life better is something entirely different.Season 2 is about going even deeper into the people, decisions, setbacks, and comebacks that shape our lives—and I couldn’t think of a better conversation to start it.🥊 Season 2 • Episode 1 featuring Byron Irwin🎥 Watch the full episode on YouTube and our website🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts & Spotify🔒 Subscribe through the website for exclusive contentLinks in bio.More than a podcast.
