127. Beyond Rock Bottom: A Mom’s Real Story of Addiction and Recovery with Emily Redondo

37 minutes

Have you ever looked like you had it all together on the outside while quietly falling apart inside?

You’re not alone, and today’s episode will touch your heart in ways you don’t expect.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Emily Redondo, a mom of four and the author of Wife, Mother, Drunk. Emily opens up about her journey through addiction, generational trauma, and the messy, beautiful work of finding healing while raising a family.

Her honesty will stop you in your tracks because this isn’t just a story about addiction. It’s about every mom who’s ever felt lost, ashamed, or unsure of who she really is beneath all the “good mom” expectations.

🎧 Listen now and share this episode with a mom who needs to know she’s not alone.
