Growing up in a home impacted by addiction changes you in ways you often don't recognize until adulthood.

The people pleasing. The hypervigilance. The fear of speaking up. The feeling that you have to hold everything together.

In this replayed conversation, I sit down with author Jody Lamb as she shares what it was like growing up with an alcoholic mother and the journey of healing that followed. Together, we explore the lasting impact of childhood dysfunction, the power of community, and why sharing our stories can become one of the most healing things we ever do.

Whether you're an adult child of addiction, love someone who struggles, or are working to break generational patterns for your own family, this conversation is a reminder that your past may shape you, but it doesn't have to define you.

In this episode, we explore:

• Growing up as an adult child of alcoholism and its lasting impact
• Why telling your story can be a powerful part of healing
• Learning to set boundaries without guilt
• The role community plays in recovery and growth
• Releasing shame and understanding addiction isn't your fault
• Small daily choices that support long term healing
• Breaking generational cycles for yourself and future generations
• Finding your voice after years of staying quiet

Healing isn't about pretending the past didn't happen. It's about understanding it, learning from it, and choosing a different path forward.
