Hopestream for parenting kids through drug use and addiction

An Unexpectedly Humorous Take on Substance Misuse, Borderline Personality, Trauma and Tragic Loss, with Jess Kupferman

ABOUT THE EPISODE:
On this episode of Hopestream, the show comes full circle to its roots. My guest, Jess Kupferman, is the CEO of She Podcasts, a membership-based group of all-women podcasters that played an important role in the creation of this show. 

What I didn’t know when I launched the podcast was that Jess lost her daughter to a heroin overdose at the same time I was going through our family struggles with my son.

One of the most fascinating things about Jess is the way she has learned to process this trauma with a sharp sense of humor rarely seen in addiction and recovery spaces. Don’t feel bad if you laugh a few times while listening to her story, but take her advice on telling your own story seriously.

On this episode Jess and I discuss:

  • why she sometimes views her family’s struggles as great sitcom material
  • how she “kinda kidnapped” her daughter from a rehab facility
  • the frustrating state of recovery centers for those who suffer from other mental health issues
  • the incredible benefits of an all-female podcasting community
  • baby steps toward telling your own story
