Adrienne Gold Davis sits down with author, educator, and recovery advocate Carly Israel, whose honesty and courage continue to touch so many. Together, they explore Carly’s battle with alcoholism and mental health, her journey through motherhood, and the hard-earned wisdom she now shares with others. Her story offers strength and perspective for parents and loved ones supporting someone in struggle. They discuss the silence around addiction in Jewish families, the trauma carried by descendants of Holocaust survivors, and the awakening that comes with recovery. It is a conversation about survival, hope, and choosing to live with intention. At its heart, it reflects what it means to live wondrously.
