Balancing Family and Self: Glory's Story of Love and Addiction

We just have to own our own journey and try and make sure we're taking care of ourselves. When do you think you got that reality check?
Picture this: You're a social worker by profession, but at home, you're also the daughter of someone struggling with addiction. This is the reality for Glory, who joins Margaret Swift Thompson on 'The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast'. Glory opens up about the tightrope walk of balancing her own well-being with the desire to help her mother. It's a journey filled with love, respect, and tough decisions.
She talks about the collateral damage addiction brings to extended families and how to handle differing opinions that don't always align with her actions. The conversation is a heartfelt exploration of self-care, boundaries, and the importance of seeking help. Glory's story is not just about her mother's addiction but also about her own path to self-respect and understanding. For anyone navigating similar waters, this episode offers a blend of empathy and practical advice.
Tune in to hear how Glory manages to stay true to herself while supporting her loved ones.
