Ultimately, you are in charge of your own happiness.
Labels can often feel like a necessary step when dealing with a loved one's addiction. But what if they’re not as helpful as we think?

She opens up a conversation about why slapping a label on your loved one's struggles might not be the best route and offers alternative strategies that can truly make a difference.
Michelle dives into the pitfalls of focusing too much on diagnosing the person you care about.

Listeners will find three bonus tips in this episode, designed to help navigate these complex emotions and situations.
Michelle’s approach is both eye-opening and comforting, providing a fresh lens through which to view addiction and support. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by your loved one's addiction or just looking for new ways to cope, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice to help you find your own path to well-being.
