Trailer description

In this deeply honest and emotional conversation, we explore what addiction really does

not just to the person struggling, but to the entire family system.

My guest, Donna Marston, is an author, family recovery specialist, harm reduction trainer, and founder of Sharing Without Shame. She shares her lived experience of navigating her son’s addiction, the weight of shame, and the moment everything began to shift toward healing.

This episode opens up the raw truth behind:

The hidden emotional toll on parents and families

Shame, guilt, and self-blame in addiction

Why “just stop” is not the answer

The difference between helping and unhealthy enabling

Boundaries, healing, and unconditional love without self-abandonment

What real recovery looks like for both individuals and families

If you’ve ever loved someone through addiction or felt lost in the process of trying to save them this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

Healing begins when silence ends.
