EP36: She Thought It Was Her Job to Save Him—A Mother’s Journey Through Addiction, Grief, and Self-Healing


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like it's your responsibility to save your child from addiction—only to find yourself breaking in the process?

When a child is facing substance use struggles, many parents fall into the trap of over-functioning, losing themselves in the process of trying to fix something they can’t control. In this deeply personal episode, Karen Hardy shares how shifting from control to compassion—and from burnout to boundaries—changed everything in her relationship with her son.

  • Discover the emotional toll of trying to be your child’s savior—and how to reclaim your energy and peace.
  • Learn how staying connected without losing yourself can open the door to real healing.
  • Hear how Karen’s decision to heal herself became the catalyst for her son’s recovery from heroin.

Press play to hear Karen’s powerful journey and learn how choosing self-healing over control can transform your path—and your child’s.

You can read more about Karen’s story and find strength in her book, I Can’t Do This Anymore, available online now https://a.co/d/dPYNPro
