It’s January. It's school holidays. It’s work. It’s parenting. It’s just a busy season. But if you love someone struggling with alcoholism or addiction in your family or relationship, what you’re feeling might not be “just stress.” It might be survival mode. In this episode of \"The Part No One Talks About\" mini-series, I talk about: • Why you’re constantly bracing • The scanning, anticipating and replaying • The emotional load you’re carrying • How we minimise the impact on ourselves • Why “trying harder” isn’t the solution If you are exhausted, reactive, at capacity, snapping at your kids over Play-Doh… this conversation is for you. Because you don’t need more patience. You need steadiness. And that’s exactly what we’ll be working on inside the live workshop: How To Live This Year Differently February 24/25 This workshop is for spouses and families navigating addiction or sobriety at any stage. You will leave with practical tools to:  • Reduce reactivity  • Calm your nervous system  • Stop living on edge  • Support your loved one without abandoning yourself If this episode resonated, don’t wait. 👉 Join us here: Reserve your spot Can't make it live?
