In this episode of Echoes of Home, Kelly and Erin open up a layered, intimate conversation around addiction — exploring what it means to be in recovery, the psychology and physiology behind addiction, and the complicated reality of loving someone who is struggling.
Erin shares her lived experience in Al-Anon, what it means to have a “qualifier,” and how her relationships with addicts have shaped her understanding of codependency and healing. Together, Kelly and Erin unpack the trauma roots of addiction, the dopamine-driven behavior patterns we often miss, and the spiritual lenses — from karma to soul contracts — that can help us hold this terrain with more compassion and perspective.
They also get real about what actually helps when someone you love is suffering from addiction, and why the most powerful thing you can do… might be to help yourself.
Whether you’re in recovery, in relationship with someone who struggles, or simply curious about the deeper layers of addiction and healing, this one invites you to listen with your heart wide open.
