    The Roles We Play: Finding Your Way Back to God’s Design

    Addiction. We’re not talking about the typical roles like mom, dad, or sibling. We’re talking about the roles we adapt in order to survive the chaos, pain, and uncertainty that addiction brings into a family. These roles may help us cope in the moment—but over time, they become unhealthy for both us and our loved one. The good news? Once we can identify these roles, we can begin to break free from them and step back into who God truly created us to be. FindingHope.Today HopeAfterLoss.Today FHRetreat.com HALRetreat.com

    Sober, Now What?

    What happens after your loved one gets sober? In this episode, Darcie joins Amy to talk about the reality families face once sobriety begins. While sobriety is a huge step, it is still normal to feel anxious and worried. We discuss how addiction affects the brain, why healing takes time, and what healthy communication and boundaries look like during recovery.

    Refilling Your Wellness Tank

    On today’s episode, Darcie joins Amy to talk about what self-care truly means—not the version culture promotes, but the kind that sustains your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health. We discuss recognizing when your wellness tank is full, half-full, or empty, and practical ways to refill it through boundaries, self-awareness, and healthy habits.

    Parallel Feelings: More Alike Than We Think

    On today’s episode, Darcie is back, and we’re diving into one of our favorite lessons from Finding Hope—Parallel Feelings. After hearing testimony after testimony from people in recovery and from loved ones, we began to notice something surprising: both groups often experience many of the same emotions, but respond to them in very different ways. In this episode, we unpack the parallel feelings and traits of those who love someone struggling with substances and those who are battling addiction themselves. As we name the similarities, we discover that awareness isn’t meant to bring shame—it gives us the opportunity to pause, extend grace, and choose healthier patterns. Understanding these parallels can soften hearts, break cycles, and move us one step closer to healing for everyone involved. FindingHope.Today HopeAfterLoss.Today FHRetreat.com HALRetreat.com

    Beyond Resolutions: Trusting God With a New Year

    As a new year begins, many of us think about fresh starts, goals, or resolutions—but does a new year really bring lasting change? In this episode, we reflect on a powerful quote from Shane Pruitt "A new year doesn't make a new you, if you keep living the way you've always lived. A new you only happens when you let an eternal God take over, and He changes how you live." This is especially true for those loving someone struggling with addiction. We talk about what real change might look like—meeting your own needs, taking a courageous step to attend a Finding Hope meeting, or simply learning more about what Finding Hope is all about. If you’re longing for rest, healing, or a fresh start, we also invite you to sign up for this year’s Finding Hope (FHRetreat.com) or Hope After Loss retreat (HALRetreat.com).
