Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Who are you influencing? | Amy & Amber
Q: How can family members influence their loved one's recovery?
By stepping out of the 'bad guy' role, learning to listen, asking curious questions, and guiding conversations to surface the loved one's own motivations to change rather than pushing for immediate action.
The Impact of Addiction on Children | Amy & Eli
Q: What helped you the most in staying grounded through everything you witnessed at home?
Finding a supportive community, going to the gym, and having safe people to talk to—like the Peaceful Family Oklahoma program and church connections—helped me process emotions and drop the 'rocks' I carried.
The Impact of Addiction on Children | Amy & Eli
Q: Tell us a little about yourself and how your environment affected you growing up.
I'm Eli, and I graduated high school, balancing school, church life, and an internship while dealing with my dad's addiction and the family dynamics; I found strength through community, music, and faith, and I'm focused on helping others by sharing my story.
