Manage episode 435687380 series 2806673
Welcome back to the Family Brand Podcast, everyone! Chris and Melissa here, sharing a deeply personal and transformative experience from our recent journey into the world of recovery and support. Last week, we attended a significant event: Chris's sister Kristen celebrated six years of sobriety, and we were there to support her at her AA meeting.
This wasn't just any gathering; it was a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience found in the community and the powerful impact of familial support. Kristen’s journey through addiction, recovery, and now, her role in helping others, has been nothing short of inspirational. We were moved by the stories shared at the meeting—stories of struggle, hope, forgiveness and profound transformation.
During this episode, we'll dive into the importance of open communication about addiction and mental health in our families. We discuss how these honest conversations not only foster understanding and support but also empower our children with knowledge and resilience against life’s challenges.
