In this episode, Sue and Mike are joined by Shannon Gordon who shares a very personal story growing up with two parents in active addiction. In this episode, Shannon shares many of her challenges and how she finally recognized she couldn’t save her mother and had to save herself. Shannon’s story is a powerful recount of her experiences mostly with her mother who ended up living on the streets for many years.  We are grateful for her willingness to share her grief, vulnerabilities, struggles, gratitude and acceptance and how she went from feeling like a victim to a survivor.  Her story is a gift for others who have experienced active addiction in their family and a reminder that we aren’t alone.

As a mother and psychologist, Kaylie shares some of her insight and recommendations including how to role model healthy dialogue, providing support versus fixing, having emotional awareness, and understanding of our beliefs to help support our children and teens. Kaylie also talks about some issues and challenges parents face when having difficult conversations and the value of focusing on feelings, having open and honest dialogue that is age appropriate. 

In this episode, Sue and Mike are joined by Dr Hajela and Kaylie Rodriguez who co-authored the book The Matrix for Life. This book is a matrix or series of 9 windows which guides readers through the ABCs of Awareness, Action, Acceptance, Beliefs, Boundaries, Balance, Compassion, Caring and Contentment. The team talks about these concepts in more detail and how you can move from awareness to contentment. Our hope is this book will inspire you to re-examine your ideas that may be keeping you stuck or trapped in the past or worrying about the future. It will help expand your perspectives through practical ideas and exercises to embrace life’s journey in a meaningful way as you take responsibility for your own health, well-being, and personal growth.
