This is my Story

For years, I kept our family’s struggles with my child’s substance use hidden, even from those closest to me. I stayed silent, afraid of judgment, while being told to use “tough love” or wait for them to “hit rock bottom.”

But that approach only deepened the chaos in our home and left me feeling more helpless and exhausted than ever. It was an endless cycle of worry, frustration, and fear—with no way out.

After a pivotal moment, I knew I couldn’t keep living this way. I needed a different path—not just for my child’s sake, but for my own well-being.

I became a Health and Mental Health Coach, dedicating myself to understanding Substance Use, Family Recovery, and evidence-based approaches that actually work. What I discovered was life-changing. Instead of pushing my child away, I learned to foster connection, support positive change, and prioritize my own well-being and recovery along the way.

I know how isolating it can feel, but I also know there is a way forward. Recovery is possible—for both your child and you.

You don’t have to walk this path alone. You don’t have to wait for "rock bottom." Join me on my private podcast to hear more about my family's journey to recovery and the practical steps that can help you move Beyond the Chaos.
