It seems strange to use the word freedom when discussing the disease of addiction and its collateral damage. How can one find peace when there is no cure? Kathryn has experienced the unimaginable death of two children to illnesses and witnessed a third child be held hostage by addiction, a progressive, chronic, and potentially fatal disease. 

In this episode, Kathryn shares how education, counseling, and her faith have led her to be able to live life on life's terms. Kathryn also introduces us to her other children, Andrew and Abby. 

The Embrace family Recovery Coaching Group starts February 8 at 8:00 pm EST. Our first topic will be The Parallel Process of the Family Disease.

In today's episode, meet Kathryn, a mother of a son with the disease of addiction. As Kathryn will share, her story is atypical and profound due to her commitment to her recovery despite the unimaginable losses she has experienced. Against all odds, Kathryn has implemented six specific tools to support her in her goal of "not living a bitter life" and figuring "out some way to find joy." Thank you for the gifts I received from your story Kathryn. I walked away from our conversation, thinking I have no excuse not to work my program.

One of the most common questions I have heard through my decades of working with people impacted by the disease of addiction is, "why is my love not enough?"  I have heard this from parents, partners, children, and siblings. The person with the disease asks, "Why is my love for ------- not enough to keep me clean?"
Today Madeleine Dean and Harry Cunnane, the authors of 'Under Our Roof,' share more about their story and the importance of giving back, how powerful this disease is, and that there are no lost causes. Hope is vital and sometimes feels evasive.
Another exciting part of this episode is learning about the Children's Book, 'You Are Always Loved' they wrote and how it came to be created! I am a huge advocate for educating our children, and this book offers a fantastic opportunity for adults to have conversations about difficult things and emotions.

Today Congresswoman Madeleine Dean and Harry Cunnane are back! This mother and son duo who wrote 'Under Our Roof' share more about their recovery journey. They answer the questions and offer so much more through their story. 

Harry introduced me to a powerful quote I had never heard 'while in addiction, trust is lost in buckets, and in recovery gained in drops!' 

It is so helpful to hear how Mad and Harry navigated this truth about a symptom of the disease of addiction. This disease requires dishonesty for a person to survive in active use.

Welcome to 2023! The title of Congresswoman Madeleine Dean and Harry Cunnane's book 'Under Our Roof, A Son's Battle for Recovery, A mother's Battle for Her Son' says everything! 
Today I have the honor of introducing you to Mad(as Congresswoman Dean invited me to call her) and her son Harry, who will share their story and the parallel aspects of the family and the addicted person's journey in this family disease. It is so powerful to hear about their journey, mutual love and respect, and that they continue learning from each other. What a powerful way to kick off a new year!
I want to shout out to their book on Audible (click the link to hear a sample), where Harry and Mad narrate their chapters. Listening to them read adds so much to this already powerful book! I can only imagine how emotional it was to read.
