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. Out of fear of judgment, I stayed silent, all while being told to use ‘tough love’ or wait for them to ‘hit rock bottom.

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

After one pivitol incident, I knew I couldn’t keep living that way. I needed a different path—not just for my child’s sake, but for my own.

I became a Health and Mental Health Coach, dedicating myself to understanding Substance Use, Family Recovery, and 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 in the process.

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