Parenting is challenging enough, but what happens when you add addiction into the mix? In this episode of Boy Problems Podcast, hosts Katie, Jessica, and Shannon welcome back Lizzie to share her story. Lizzie and her husband Drew have navigated the turbulent waters of addiction and recovery while raising five children.
This candid conversation dives into the nitty-gritty of their experiences, from Drew leaving for a 90-day rehab just after their newborn arrived to seeking therapy for their three-year-old and disciplining a high schooler caught drinking.

She also talks about coping with the shame and stigma that often come with addiction, and how she managed self-care amidst the chaos. Whether you're a parent dealing with similar issues or someone looking for insights into how addiction impacts family life, Lizzie’s story offers valuable perspectives and practical advice. Tune in for an honest and heartfelt discussion that sheds light on the realities of parenting through addiction.
