Beth Syverson's Path to Healing: A Journey with Her Son on Safe Home Podcast
We are trying to transform our pain into practical guidance for other families with struggling teens.
Ever wondered how a mother copes when her child battles addiction and mental health issues? Beth Syverson knows this struggle all too well. In this heartfelt episode of the 'Safe Home Podcast', Beth opens up about her son Joey's addiction journey and their shared experiences. Beth, a mom, wife, and musician, turned to podcasting and activism in 2021 to help others navigate similar challenges.
She talks about the initial chaos and her attempts to 'fix' Joey, which led her to seek help for herself. This self-care not only improved her life but also strengthened her relationships with Joey and her wife Jan. Beth and Joey started the 'Safe Home Podcast' to share their story and offer practical advice to other families. They discuss the importance of harm reduction, the unique struggles faced by adoptees, and how storytelling can build a supportive community.
This episode is a touching testament to the power of transforming pain into hope.
