Description

Welcome back to the Embrace Family Recovery Podcast

Today, I thrilled to introduce you to Brenda — a courageous woman who shares her inspiring journey of recovery from codependency, work addiction, and alcoholism. Growing up in a home impacted by addiction and mental illness, Brenda turned to overachievement to manage the chaos. Through intensive therapy, support groups like CODA, Al-Anon, and Workaholics Anonymous, and the transformative power of writing — showcased in her book Stepping Into Trust: A Poetic Journey of Recovery — Brenda found her path to healing. Tune in for her powerful story of resilience, self-discovery, and hope.
