In Episode 41 of Conversations with Cumberland Heights, host Dr. Nick Hayes is joined by Marti Roveda — a parent coach, recovery advocate, and mother of an ARCH Academy alum. Together, they explore the emotional, practical, and often isolating experience of parenting teens in recovery.

Since 2021, Marti has dedicated her life to supporting parents of youth facing substance misuse, mental health disorders, and neurodivergence. In 2023, she founded the parent support program at ARCH Academy in Nashville, TN — a transformative step that helped her turn her passion into purpose. Marti shares how her personal experience with her son's recovery journey inspired her to leave her corporate career and devote herself full-time to coaching other parents on a similar path.

This episode offers powerful insights, emotional authenticity, and hope for any family navigating adolescent recovery.
