When addiction entered my family, I never imagined the twists, heartbreaks, and small miracles that would unfold. In this episode, I share my personal journey as a mom walking alongside my son through his battle with opioid addiction. From the terrifying nights of detox to the hope found in treatment programs and even incarceration, this story is one of resilience, faith, and love that refuses to give up.

I talk about the importance of getting on the same page as parents, the hidden costs of addiction, and why your own healing matters as much as your child’s. This is not just their fight—it’s yours, too. I also share how faith and community played an unexpected role in carrying us through the darkest moments.

If you are a parent or loved one of someone struggling with addiction, my story is for you. I want you to know that you are not alone, and that there is hope even in the most painful chapters. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m here to listen, to support, and to walk with you.

Don’t forget to grab the meditation link below that supports you if you are going through the journey of loving someone who loves drugs more than themselves.

I would love to support you as a coach. If you’re here, it’s because you know someone or you yourself are going through this horrific experience. You’re not alone. And there is help – even if you have to be persistent to find what fits best for you.

I’d love to hear from you and your experience so far. In the mean time, please take good care of YOU.
