Ever wondered why your best parenting efforts sometimes seem to fall short? In this episode of 'Hopestream', Brenda Zane sits down with Dr. Crystal Collier, an award-winning therapist with a unique blend of professional expertise and personal experience in substance misuse. Dr. Collier's journey began with her own struggles with alcohol at a young age, leading her to question how seemingly well-adjusted kids from stable families can make harmful decisions.
Her quest for answers turned into a 30-year career dedicated to understanding and addressing these issues. Together, Brenda and Dr. Collier explore the concept of 'Family of Origin' (FOO) triggers—those ingrained patterns and reactions from our own childhoods that can unknowingly influence our parenting today.

Dr. Collier shares insights on adolescent brain development, prevention strategies, and the importance of self-awareness in parenting. She emphasizes that understanding our own backgrounds can be a powerful tool in helping our children navigate their challenges.
