Jody Lamb, a personal growth author and advocate for adult children of alcoholics, shares her transformative journey of healing from the impact of her mother's alcoholism. Through her experiences and insights, Jody emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care, which allowed her to reclaim her life and find happiness. She recounts her pivotal moment at the age of 26 when she realized that she needed to focus on her own well-being rather than trying to fix her mother. The conversation delves into the significance of community support, such as Al Anon meetings, and how they helped both Jody and Tammy navigate their own paths to healing. Jody also highlights the necessity of inner child work, encouraging listeners to reconnect with their younger selves and acknowledge their feelings as a vital step towards recovery and personal growth.

In this episode, we are thrilled to welcome Jody Lamb, a personal growth author and advocate dedicated to helping adult children of alcoholics (ACOAs) heal from their past and create their dream lives. Jody's journey of resilience and healing comes from her own experience growing up with an alcoholic mother, which deeply shaped her mission to support others who have faced similar challenges.

Since 2009, Jody has been sharing her insights and practical strategies with a global community of ACOAs, empowering them to break free from the limitations of their past. Her middle-grade novel, you can grab it here, is Easter Ann Peters' Operation Cool, received the prestigious Foreword Reviews' 2012 Book of the Year Award, celebrated for its realistic portrayal of parental alcoholism. Through her writing and coaching, Jody offers simple yet powerful strategies to overcome the struggles that come with being an adult child of an alcoholic and lead a peaceful, fulfilling life.

On her website, JodyLamb.com, she continues to share resources and guidance to help individuals heal from the wounds of their childhood and transform their lives.
