ABOUT THE EPISODE: In this special episode, I talk with my dear college friend Tina Jayes about growing up as the sibling in a house where her brother was addicted to drugs and the dysfunction of that combined with an alcoholic mom and little supervision or money. She shares so much:the heartbreak of losing her adored, older brother to an overdose how a lack of resources contributed to keeping him in an unhealthy lifestylewhat she wishes her mom would have done to help her understand what was going on with her brotherhow her mom and brother's addiction has impacted her life todayher choices around communicating hard information when raising her own childrenthoughts for parents wondering how to talk to their "other" childrenWe transition from the sibling conversation to self-care and coping strategies she recommends based on her life experience and over 16 years in the beauty industry. We talk all things from maca powder to boxing, puffy eyes, and cucumber facials. Tina gives us practical but important ways to take care of our bodies and minds when faced with incredible life challenges.This is a great episode to listen to if you have a child with substance use disorder and there are other kids in the home, and if you're looking for ways to feel better as you endure the pain that's related to your child's addiction.
