Sharing Without Shame: Empowering Families Affected by Addiction with Donna Marston

00:00

54:05

Tracing her son's journey to recovery and her own process of healing, Donna Marston shares how her initial attempts at 'rescuing' her son only enabled his addiction. She talks about how she learned the value of 'unhealthy helping,' fostering understanding and supporting their loved one's recovery without enabling their destructive habits. Donna's story serves as a beacon of hope for other parents going through similar experiences.

Donna is a Certified Recovery Support Worker, author, and founder of Sharing With Out Shame, an organization dedicated to empowering families affected by addiction. Drawing from her personal journey of navigating her son’s addiction, she share's insights on breaking the stigma, setting healthy boundaries, and reclaiming your life as a parent or loved one of someone in active addiction. With a focus on compassion, mindset shifts, and practical strategies, Donna inspires hope and healing in the face of one of today’s toughest challenges - Addiction in My Family
