  • Essential resource, even for siblings and loved ones

    This podcast is the deepest well of resources, research-backed information, and perspectives of both those who have experienced substance misuse directly and loved ones who have been affected. As someone who isn’t a parent but has family members who struggle, there’s so much to learn here from communication tools, boundaries, treatment, and ways to support both your loved one and yourself throughout the process!

  • 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.
