When Addiction Enters Your Family, There Is Still Hope with Tara Norbeck- Episode 101

from The Bitter and The Sweet Podcast · host Kayla M. Cook

September is National Recovery Month, and in honor of that, we've got a very special conversation for you today with my friend, Tara Norbeck.   Tara is an author and speaker whose newest book, Dear Mom of an Addict: Ten Truths You Need to Know to Parent Your Addicted Child and Reclaim Hope, was born out of what she has learned over years of parenting her son, who battles addiction.   Tara and I got to talk about her realization that addiction had entered her family, the difference between privacy and secrecy, navigating the chaos consequences of other people's choices, putting our hope in the person of Jesus vs in circumstances changing, unconditional love with conditional support, and much more.   There is something so generous about books and conversations that come from suffering, and Tara is wildly generous with her story for the sake of sharing hope and helping other families dealing with the fallout of addiction.   LINKS:  Connect with Tara on Instagram Visit Tara's website Get your copy of Dear Mom of an Addict  Connect with Kayla on Instagram Visit Kayla's website (and become an email friend!)
