Ep 17 Recovery of Your Family Begins With YOU! Combatting Childhood Trauma From The Trenches.

In this powerful episode, Recovery of Your Family Begins With YOU!, I share a story I heard in Al-Anon that stopped me in my tracks—a story that helped me see how my efforts to “smooth things over” in a home affected by alcoholism were actually hurting more than helping.

Children don’t need everything to look okay. They need someone who is okay—someone stable, trustworthy, and emotionally safe. As Christian wives and moms navigating life with an alcoholic loved one, we are called to be that safe harbor. This episode is an invitation to take honest inventory, let go of unhealthy patterns, and choose a better path—for our kids, and for ourselves. Healing starts with us.
