The addiction inoculation is an opportunity for all of us to be better to all young people so that we can, you know, take a village blah, blah, blah.
Picture this: Thanksgiving dinner with a side of deep, meaningful conversation about parenting and addiction. That's what you'll get in this heartwarming episode of Dopey featuring Jess Lahey. Jess is not just any guest; she's a writer, journalist, teacher, and attorney who has walked the rocky road to recovery herself. Her insights are not only eye-opening but also incredibly practical for anyone raising kids in today's world.
Jess is the author of the New York Times bestseller 'The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed' and 'The Addiction Inoculation: Raising Healthy Kids in a Culture of Dependence'. She joins hosts Dave and Chris to share her personal journey and the lessons she's learned along the way.
The conversation is rich with tips on how to help kids avoid the pitfalls of addiction and how to build resilience through failure. But it's not all heavy. The episode is sprinkled with moments of gratitude, laughter, and heartfelt stories that make it feel like a warm family gathering. Jess and the hosts dive into topics like the role of community in recovery, the importance of sharing stories, and how parenting has evolved in the digital age.
This episode also serves as a touching tribute to Chris, Dave's former co-host who tragically passed away from an overdose. It's a poignant reminder of why conversations like these are so crucial. Whether you're a parent, a teacher, or someone interested in the complexities of addiction and recovery, this episode offers valuable insights wrapped in genuine human connection. Tune in for a mix of wisdom, warmth, and a few chuckles along the way.
