Surviving the Storm: COVID, Substance Use, and Holiday Stress with Brenda Zane

The more I've been thinking about it, the more I know that that is just the wrong way to do it, that is letting the circumstances in life direct how I get to enjoy my time and my family.
Imagine juggling the chaos of a pandemic, your child's substance use issues, and the stress of the holiday season all at once. Brenda Zane, host of 'Hopestream', knows exactly what that feels like. In this episode, she offers a lifeline to parents who are feeling overwhelmed by these challenges.
Brenda, a Mayo Clinic Certified coach and CRAFT Parent Coach, draws from her wealth of personal and professional experience to share practical tips on how to find stability and peace amidst the turmoil. She talks about the importance of creating sacred moments in your day, building a protective bubble of joy, and reframing holiday dread into something more manageable.
Brenda also gives listeners permission to let go of old traditions and embrace new ones, reminding us that it's okay to take a break from the usual holiday pressures. Her advice is all about tending to your own well-being, or as she puts it, 'tending the garden of you'. This episode is a beacon of hope and encouragement, urging parents to focus on self-care and intentional living during these trying times.
