In this special Mother's Day episode, Julie DeNofa highlights five fantastic women who have walked through recovery and how motherhood, whether being a mom themselves or how their mother loved them through addiction, has shaped who they are today. Each woman has their own unique and powerful story and we are honored to share their inspiring stories of courage, redemption, forgiveness, and renewal.

At Positive Recovery Centers, we want to celebrate every mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and maternal figure for their constant nurturing care, unconditional love, and tenacious spirit - the ongoing gifts that empower future generations. Additionally, and with much love, we also want to pause to remember the mothers who are no longer physically with us. Their absence leaves an indelible mark on our hearts, and while we celebrate the joy of motherhood, we also recognize the ache of loss. 

To every mother out there, whether you are in the midst of recovery, have navigated past challenges, or have supported someone through their struggles, know that your role is pivotal. With all its trials and triumphs, being a mother has the unique power to transform not only our children but also our own lives. 

Topics Discussed:

• Releasing shame in addiction to pursue redemption in recovery

• Learning to parent teens through leading by example

• The greatest joys of motherhood and learning how to be present

• What it means to be a woman and mother in active recovery

• Building stronger relationships with your children and spouse through sobriety

Did you know mindfulness and meditation are helpful practices that empower your mind? In this episode, Host Dr. Jason Powers shares that about 80% of individuals he sees being treated for substance use disorders also struggle with a co-occurring mental illness as well. However, there is nothing to feel ashamed of. Many of us struggle with mental illness in some capacity, such as anxiety, depression, or a variety of other mental illnesses. 

Since mental illness and substance use disorder are so closely related, Dr. Powers shares that "if you're not treating addiction and mental illness, you're not treating either." The truth is, when helping individuals with the underlying reasons behind substance use, we have a significantly higher chance of assisting them to fully recover. 

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month (and beyond), we want to destigmatize mental illness and addiction. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, we are here to help! Please call us at 877-697-1383 to speak with a substance use professional today!

Topics Discussed:

• Why treating mental illness and substance use disorder go hand-in-hand

• The many brain health benefits of meditation practices 

• Learning to practice mindfulness BEFORE an anxiety attack

• Integrating healthy coping skills to empower your mind

• Recognizing mental illness from an objective and non-judgement standpoint

Addiction treatment has evolved significantly over the last few decades. With the change in substance use patterns comes the change in how we help individuals recover from substances. From understanding how opioids impact brain function and the side effects of drug use to understanding the effectiveness of early prevention and equipping individuals with the right tools for long-term treatment, we can thank much of the advancements in addiction medicine to our special guest this week. 

In this conversation, Dr. Powers and George Joseph are joined by a true pioneer in addiction medicine, Dr. Mark S. Gold. Revered as "The Godfather of addiction medicine," Dr. Gold is a renowned Addiction Medicine Expert, Speaker, Author, Professor, and Researcher with extensive accolades and credentials. Starting his career in translational neuroscience in 1972, Dr. Gold's theories have changed the [addiction] field, stimulated research, and led to new treatments. 

With over 40 years in the addiction treatment space, Dr. Gold has developed models for understanding the effects of tobacco, cocaine, opiates, and other drugs, as well as food, on the brain and behavior. As an inventor, Dr. Gold's work has resulted in many patents, from his first, clonidine use in opioid withdrawal to his most recent on the use of anti-addiction medications in the treatment of hedonic overeating and the use of central site photoplethysmography, medication Administration and Safety Granted in 2018.

It’s no secret that relationships play a pivotal role in our recovery. While building resilience starts at the heart of wanting to overcome challenges and bounce back from relapse, having a strong support system is what often guides us back to health. If resilience is a reflection of who you are at your core, then relationships act as the mirror that allows you to see your true self. 

In this conversation, Dr. Powers is joined by co-host George Joseph, with special guest Dr. Robert Hilliker. Dr. Hilliker's extensive 20-year career in addiction and mental health is marked by his profound dedication to fostering hope within clinical settings, co-founding The Lovett Center and Ethos Behavioral Health Group. In his educational journey, from earning a Master's degree at the University of Houston to completing a Ph.D. at the Institute for Clinical Social Work in Chicago, Dr. Hilliker has laid the foundation for his influential roles across several renowned institutions. Notably, his collaboration with Dr. Brené Brown at The Daring Way LLC and his leadership roles at The Council on Alcohol and Drugs Houston and The Menninger Clinic highlight his significant contributions to the field. Currently, as the Chief Clinical Officer of Ethos Behavioral Health Group, he continues to shape the future of mental health care.

Innovation in clinical practice and education forms a cornerstone of Robert's work, evidenced by his Pilgrimage curriculum and Logos Groups, which reimagine treatment and community-based therapy. His commitment extends to teaching psychiatry residents at The University of Texas McGovern Medical School and leading groups at the Baylor College of Medicine. Recognized for his integrity and impact on the field with awards from the Menninger Clinic and the Houston Business Journal, Robert's life in Houston with his family mirrors his professional ethos, blending care, dedication, and a vision for transformative mental health practices.

Topics Discussed:

• Why resilience is heavily influenced by your support system

• Understanding Hope as a relationship construct

• The power of asking tough questions 

• How to recognize Post-Traumatic Growth in your recovery

• Getting clear on your values and aligning your behavior with them

Let's talk about whole health. While there isn't a "one-size-fits-all" approach to health, incorporating a healthy balance of mental, physical, and spiritual well-being is guaranteed to jumpstart your health journey. No matter what this looks like for you, whether you prefer a more protein vs. plant-based diet, hitting it hard at the gym vs. walking your dog around the neighborhood, or yoga and meditation vs. journaling and prayer, the three pillars of health - mind, body, and soul - are essential to not just your recovery journey, but your overall health and wellness. 

In this episode, you'll get an inside look into Dr. Powers's daily habits, which have guided him to the healthiest version of himself yet. Dr. Powers shares how he found emotional balance when he first started his yoga journey, the many benefits of daily sauna time, and how meditation led him to observe negative thought patterns objectively and toward a journey of self-acceptance. 

Building on these foundations, Dr. Powers also discusses the role of community and support systems in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, highlighting how connection with others can provide motivation, accountability, and a sense of belonging. When you surround yourself with others on a similar journey, you create an enriching experience that everyone can benefit from. 

Topics Discussed:

• Emphasizing self-acceptance as a foundation for progress 

• How physical balance can shape your emotional balance

• Focusing on an enriching diet & daily exercise for healthy living

• Meditation's role in overcoming negative mental patterns 

• Why social connections are your best resource for personal growth

Addiction. Sobriety. Relapse. Shame… repeat. Sound familiar? If you’re caught in the throes of addiction, odds are you’ve been here before. For many of us, the shame cycle keeps us locked in our addiction. The problem with shame is that it warps our understanding of guilt and takes it a step further by making us feel like we’re a bad person rather than simply making a bad decision. But we want to remind you that there is a way out. There is a path toward healing.

In this conversation, Dr. Powers is once again joined by George Joseph, CEO of Positive Recovery Centers, as they discuss the importance of continued treatment on the recovery journey, why relapse doesn’t mean you’re broken, and the personal growth it takes in asking for help. 

The biggest takeaway from this powerful conversation? That you’re not alone in this journey and that there are people willing to lend a helping hand because they’ve been there. You’re not too far gone, and you’re not broken - your disease of addiction just makes you think you are. There is hope, and there is freedom on the other side of sobriety. 

If you’re ready to break the shame cycle, then this episode is for you!

Topics Discussed:

• Dispelling common myths behind addiction 

• Releasing shame around relapse and asking for help

• Why community matters for a successful recovery

• Recognizing addiction as a disease and treating it accordingly 

• Spreading hope and freedom through personal testimony

Struggling with addiction can often leave us feeling unworthy of love, isolated on a path marred by our past mistakes. However, this perception couldn't be more misguided. The reality is that no matter our past actions or who we were, embarking on a journey toward self-love can be the most transformative experience. 

In this official Season 2 launch of Positive Recovery MD, we're thrilled to welcome back George Joseph, CEO of Positive Recovery Centers, alongside our host, Dr. Jason Powers.

As they discuss the critical choice of self-love and compassion over the burdens of shame and guilt, Dr. Powers shares a powerful message that for people with an addiction, it's about the journey of feeling worthy enough for self-love and to be able to accept love.

While self-love may be the hardest challenge we've yet faced and the hardest thing to ask of others, George reminds us that love is a profound healer. Love grants us the strength to forgive ourselves, surpass our self-imposed limitations, and forge meaningful connections with others.

From the warmth of self-love to the challenges of emotional growth, this episode unpacks the role of love in overcoming addiction and cultivating a healthier, happier life.

Topics Discussed:

• The internal work required to overcome self-sabotage

• Why you need self-compassion to overcome guilt and shame

• How drug and alcohol addiction inhibit the ability for love to grow

• The risk of vulnerability (and the bravest question you can ask)

True or false: Positive feelings towards aging can increase your life by up to 8 years longer. Our guest from Wyoming is practically shouting from the rooftops, "IT'S TRUE!". If you blame things on your age and feel diminished in your daily living, it can literally shorten your life. The secret to embracing getting older? Surrounding yourself with solid relationships, practicing gratitude, and admiring the modern miracles of life.

Deborah Healy Hammons, Consultant, Creative Writer, former PBS TV Producer, and former Minority Whip for the Wyoming House of Representatives, has a knack for seeing beauty all around her, even in mundane tasks. In our conversation, Deborah likened driving in rush-hour traffic to seeing a flock of birds communicating in sync. We may all have our own responsibilities and meetings to attend, we’re all genuinely heading in the same direction, same flow of traffic. 

She even shares her love for having a real, live person helping her check out at the grocery store over scanning at the self-checkout line because it allows her to bond with the person standing before her. When people generally try to avoid such arduous tasks, Deborah fully embraces them. 

When it comes to living happier, more fulfilling lives, Deborah shares that appreciating the world's beauty allows us to cultivate a positive mindset and embrace the joy of living in the moment. And while we can't stop the world from turning and stop ourselves from getting older, we can simply age gracefully. 

Topics Discussed:

• How to implement positive aging 

• The relationship between our feelings and how they contribute to  longevity 

• Creating a healthy environment to thrive 

• The importance of social networks and connecting with others

• Why we want to feel valued (and how to value others)

• How driving in traffic is like a flock of birds in communication.

• Learning to admire modern miracles of life
