In this episode, Ivona speaks with Lauren Wilson. A spouse of a Shatterproof Alumni. 

Lauren shares her experience as the wife of a Shatterproof alumnus navigating her husband’s recovery journey, highlighting the "power of we" in creating a supportive and resilient environment. She emphasizes the importance of prioritizing her own self-care to stay grounded, fostering an alcohol-free home to reduce triggers, and maintaining an open mindset toward the role of medication in recovery. Lauren underscores the value of setting clear boundaries to protect her well-being and that of her family, ultimately embracing an alcohol-free lifestyle that transformed their dynamic into one of healing, connection, and mutual growth.

A very informative show.

Until next time, be well.
