Are you exhausted from trying to "fix" your child—and wondering if it's taking a toll on your own wellbeing?

When your child is struggling with substance use, the emotional rollercoaster of fear, hope, and helplessness can push you to the brink. This episode dives into the overlooked reality of parental burnout, and how letting go of control and focusing on self-care can be a powerful turning point—for both you and your child.

  • Learn the subtle but powerful difference between supporting and saving your child.
  • Hear how addiction can create a parallel journey for parents, and why your healing matters too.
  • Discover how counsellor and parent Karen Hardy shifted her role—and how that changed everything for her son.

Tune in to hear Karen's deeply honest story and learn how reclaiming your own emotional space can become the foundation for your child’s recovery.
