  • Life enhancing support

    I was introduced to this podcast by a friend who knew I was a parent of teens experimenting in substances. This podcast has so profoundly influenced my approach to my teens, engagement with my partner in this journey and provided a sense of feeling seen in such an isolated lonely place.

    I am so grateful for this podcast and body of knowledge.
