Living While Loving Your Child Through Addiction

EP114 Our Kids Don’t Steal Our Peace – We Give It Away


Listen Later

For years, I lived with my peace tied directly to my daughter Helanna’s addiction. When she struggled, I felt powerless, sick, exhausted, and consumed by fear. But everything began to shift when I realized that peace isn’t something that can be stolen—it’s something we either protect or give away.

Even in the most heartbreaking moments, I discovered that I still had agency over how I related to my emotions. That realization didn’t erase the pain, but it gave me something solid to stand on. And I want that for you, too.

We’ll talk about:

•How to stop bracing for impact and start standing in your power

•The “yes for a no” strategy that filled my needs as a mom

•What emotional intelligence really means in parenting through addiction

•How staying grounded gives your child the best possible chance at change
