Description
Mother Recovering is a podcast initially designed for mothers in recovery from drugs and alcohol. Parenting is very similar to recovery: it's a beautiful, challenging, and ever evolving process that requires intention, perseverance, patience and a sense of humor. The podcast evolved in 2021 to be a space for the host to contemplate recovery, motherhood, anxiety, trauma, and to explore life and relationships. It's a mixed bag. Episodes should relay the content so you may want to pick and choose what you tune in for.
