    Two Overdoses and a Way Back: Parenting a Child Through Addiction Featuring Brenda Zane

    On this episode of the 4 Peaks Parents Podcast, I'm talking with Brenda Zane, a TEDx speaker, Mayo Clinic certified health coach, and co-founder of Hopestream Community. Brenda spent more than 20 years in marketing and advertising, working with brands like Nike, Starbucks, PepsiCo, and Microsoft, before her oldest son's substance use and multiple fentanyl overdoses changed the course of her life. In 2020 she walked away from that career and built Hopestream, a global 501c3 that now runs a top 1% ranked podcast, workshops, and a private community for moms and female caregivers whose kids are struggling. We talk about what actually helps when your child refuses treatment, why "detach with love" so often backfires, how you can keep your influence even when you've lost control, and what to do with the panic that shows up every time the phone rings. Brenda is honest about the years she got it wrong and clear about what changed. If your kid is using and you feel like you've run out of moves, this conversation will show you the ones you still have.

You can listen to her podcast at https://hopestreamcommunity.org/hopestream-podcast/, follow along at https://www.instagram.com/hopestreamcommunity/, and start a free two-week trial of The Stream, her private community for moms, at https://members.hopestreamcommunity.org/plans/1972403?bundle_token=855d62131de07b02719320704eec3fd0&utm_source=manual

    On this episode of 4 Peaks Parents, I'm talking with Danny Ruderman, author of Harvard Doesn't Care About You, Mom. The college admissions process is supposed to prepare a young adult for independence. Often, it quietly reshapes the parent instead — especially the mother. Danny is an independent college counselor, and together we talk about the identity strain mothers face during this season — and what it actually takes to stay grounded through it.
