| 6/18/26 |  A Love Letter for Parenting Kids Through Addiction, with Brenda Zane | ABOUT THE EPISODE: There are days in this journey when the weight of it all becomes almost too much to carry. You are still showing up, still trying, still breathing through a kind of pain most people around you will never fully understand. A few years ago, I sat down and wrote something for you, for the mom and the dad and the grandparent in the thick of it, and I tucked it away. Today I pulled it back out. This piece first appeared on Insight Timer, and it became the most-listened-to conten... | 16m 19s | ||||||
| 6/11/26 |  The Thing Your Kid Can’t Tell You When They’re Struggling, with Enzo Narciso | When my son Enzo was using fentanyl and Xanax and blowing up every structure I tried to build around him, I kept asking the wrong question. What I wasn’t asking was what was happening inside him that he couldn’t put words to. He was a teenager with an unmedicated ADHD brain, getting more reinforcement and belonging from the drug world than anywhere else in his life, and he had no way to tell me that. Enzo is back on the podcast today with something specific: the things kids who are actively s... | 58m 46s | ||||||
| 6/4/26 |  10 Self Coaching Questions for Parents of Kids Who Struggle With Mental Health and Substances, with Brenda Zane | ABOUT THE EPISODE: There are moments in this journey when your coach isn't available, your therapist can't be reached, and the community is quiet. It's just you and whatever is unfolding in your relationship with your child,, and you need a way through. This episode has been sitting with me for over a year, and I'm glad it's finally here. What I've seen, in my own experience and in watching parents in our community, is that the biggest shifts come from asking yourself the right question and h... | 54m 30s | ||||||
| 5/28/26 |  Letting Your Child Struggle and Choosing Love Over Fear, with Dr. Wes Robins | ABOUT THE EPISODE: Dr. Wes Robins sent me a text a few weeks ago, and I stopped what I was doing and read it twice. It was a piece he had written at his kitchen table while his daughters worked on an art project beside him, and it was one of the most honest and beautiful things I have read in all the years I have been doing this work. It started with four words: you are not broken. And it kept going from there. Wes has been a guest on this show before, and I have always admired how he shows u... | 1h 04m 39s | ||||||
| 5/21/26 |  Connect Before You Correct: Breaking Generational Patterns, with Lacey Tezino | ABOUT THE EPISODE: Lacey Tezino grew up believing her biological mother was dead. That’s what her family told her in the ‘80s when she was adopted, and she carried that story until she was 19 years old. Hungover on just one more motherless-Mother’s Day, Lacey somehow found the nerve to call ‘information’ to see if that was true. Her mother picked up the phone. That call became a decade-long relationship that Lacey describes as beautiful, heartbreaking, and nothing she was prepared for. The co... | 59m 14s | ||||||
| 5/14/26 |  Inside Your Kid's Mind: Hidden Pain Behind Substance Use, with Brad McLeod | ABOUT THE EPISODE: Brad was 17, sitting in a psych ward for the second time, when a stranger told him about a program in Tennessee. He said no. He ran from a rest stop on the highway, and the police caught him a few hours later. That moment tells you everything about where he was: a kid who had never learned to stay, never learned to feel, and hadn’t yet found anything worth staying for. What followed was more than a decade of trying to outrun himself. Percocet. Heroin. A methadone clinic he ... | 58m 11s | ||||||
| 5/7/26 |  Co-Dependency Isn’t What You Think, with Rawly Glass, LCSW | ABOUT THE EPISODE: Rawly Glass grew up in a home full of violence. At 16, he made a pact that he would figure out how to do things differently. He earned a master's in social work, built a career in private therapy, and by all appearances was doing the work. But something from his history kept surfacing, quiet and persistent. When someone handed him the word codependent, he turned it over and put it back down. It did not fit. And he needed to understand why. What Rawly found was that codepend... | 1h 05m 17s | ||||||
| 4/30/26 |  Stuck After Treatment: Real Options Parents Overlook, with Will White | ABOUT THE EPISODE: Will White has been doing this work since last century, and he means that literally. Licensed since 1989, he has worked in group homes, boarding schools, mental health centers, and in 1996, co-founded Summit Achievement, a wilderness therapy program he ran for nearly 27 years. When he tells you the landscape of behavioral health for young people has shifted more in the last five years than in the previous three decades combined, he knows what he’s talking about. The e... | 53m 52s | ||||||
| 4/23/26 |  Misreading Your Child's Substance Use: What Parents Get Wrong with Brenda Zane | ABOUT THE EPISODE: I have sat with hundreds of moms who came to me at completely different points in their child's substance use, and the gap between them has always struck me. One mom is barely breathing, convinced the worst is already happening. Another is quietly telling herself it might just be a phase. Neither one is wrong, exactly. What they both share is that they are navigating one of the most consequential situations of their lives without a real map. That gap, between what parents f... | 49m 07s | ||||||
| 4/16/26 |  4 Things You’re Probably Googling if Your Child Struggles With Substances, with Cathy Cioth | ABOUT THE EPISODE: There is a specific kind of searching that happens at 2am when you are a parent in the thick of it, typing symptoms and half-formed fears into a search bar because you cannot say them out loud to anyone in your life. My cofounder Cathy Cioth knows exactly what that feels like, and in this conversation, we sit down to answer the questions we hear most from parents in our community, including the ones that tend to arrive with a quiet residue of shame just for asking. We start... | 59m 38s | ||||||

| 4/9/26 |  Is Your Anxiety Making Your Kid's Addiction Worse?, with Maya Kruger | ABOUT THE EPISODE: Maya Kruger grew up knowing, in a way children simply know things, that mothers die. Her own mother had lost her mother suddenly at 26, and the shadow of that loss shaped everything, including the fierce, almost desperate closeness Maya and her mother shared. She was so convinced that by leaving nothing unsaid, she could somehow protect what they had. Then, the evening after a morning hike together, her mother was killed in a car accident. Maya was 18, not yet fully formed,... | 1h 03m 15s | ||||||
| 4/2/26 |  Your Calm Is Your Child's Best Drug, with Hunter Clarke-Fields | ABOUT THE EPISODE: Hunter Clarke-Fields was a painter. She had a graduate degree in art education, a high school teaching job, and what looked from the outside like a creative life. What nobody could see was that she was white-knuckling her way through it, cycling between intense highs and pits of despair she could not explain, having panic attacks in the hallways before she had any tools to handle them. She reached for yoga, then for books on mindfulness, and read about it for years before s... | 52m 39s | ||||||
| 3/26/26 |  Using CRAFT, Getting Results, Still Questioning: Coaching Episode | ABOUT THE EPISODE: When Marie's son was diagnosed with ADHD at eight, she did what devoted parents do. She learned everything and got to work. By the time weed entered the picture in his teens, she had already lined up CRAFT counselors, drug and alcohol specialists, an at-risk youth petition, even a street artist mentor. She is a school psychologist. She had the frameworks, the language. None of it stopped what was coming. What followed were years of watching him cycle through residential tre... | 1h 01m 04s | ||||||
| 3/19/26 |  Why Kids Get Estranged From Loving Families, with Sally Harris | ABOUT THE EPISODE: When Sally Harris’s middle daughter started down a dangerous path at 14, she did what most devoted mothers do. She fought hard to fix it. Boarding school. Rehab. Anything and everything she could think of. What she did not expect was that the hardest decade of her life was still ahead, or that the coping mechanism she reached for would quietly become a crisis of its own. Her daughter’s story wound through some of the darkest places a mother can imagine, and Sally will tell ... | 48m 16s | ||||||
| 3/12/26 |  What’s Tough Love and Does It Work For Addiction? With Cathy Cioth | ABOUT THE EPISODE: Tough love. Two words that get thrown around constantly in the addiction world, and yet nobody can quite agree on what they mean. Kick them out. Cut them off. Save yourself. That’s the version I heard early on, and I couldn’t do it. Not because I was too soft, but because something about it felt fundamentally wrong - especially with a teenager. In this episode, Cathy and I get practical on the topic of this illusive thing called “tough love.” We walk through the nine actual... | 55m 56s | ||||||
| 3/5/26 |  Addiction Makes Sense to Your Child: Here's Why, with Jeremy French | ABOUT THE EPISODE: When I first heard about a woodworking apprenticeship as an addiction recovery program, I was skeptical. And then I sat down with Jeremy French, founder of Making Whole in Asheville, North Carolina, and everything I thought I knew about what recovery has to look like got turned on its head. Jeremy got sober at 17 after stolen cars, drug runs to Florida, and a flop house he describes as straight out of a Netflix series. He's been in recovery nearly 30 years, never fini... | 1h 15m 46s | ||||||
| 2/26/26 |  Ten Reasons You May Not Be Getting Results Using CRAFT, with Brenda Zane | ABOUT THE EPISODE: This solo episode is my attempt to provide answers to the question of why some families see greater change than others when using the CRAFT approach. Drawing on 6+ years of watching hundreds of parents move through this process, some gaining traction, some spinning their wheels, I’m sharing the 10 most common reasons why parents who are 'doing the work' aren't getting the results they want. It's a no-fluff audit of what might be holding you back, and it comes from my heart ... | 31m 23s | ||||||
| 2/19/26 |  Breaking Down Wilderness Therapy Myths and Realities, with Trish Ruggles | ABOUT THE EPISODE: When parents hear "wilderness therapy," their minds often race to worst-case scenarios: punishment, boot camps, kids forced to survive in harsh conditions. But Trish Ruggles, who spent over a decade as a field guide and wilderness therapist before becoming an educational consultant, has a different story to tell. After 21 years in the field and working with countless families through Pathfinder Consulting, Trish knows that wilderness therapy has evolved dramatically f... | 1h 17m 02s | ||||||
| 2/12/26 |  When to Stop Rescuing Your Child From Addiction, With Campbell Manning | ABOUT THE EPISODE: When Campbell Manning's middle son entered detox the day before Valentine's Day, she genuinely believed he'd be "fixed" and home within a week. What followed instead was a years-long journey through both of her sons' addiction cycles that would ultimately transform her from a completely naive parent into a trained addiction counselor who now helps hundreds of families navigate the same treacherous terrain. Campbell brings both the raw authenticity of lived... | 42m 01s | ||||||
| 2/5/26 |  Helping Your Young Adult Child Choose Treatment With Less Resistance, with Joanna Lilley | ABOUT THE EPISODE: If you've been waiting for the right moment to bring up the idea of getting your young adult some support, and you're not sure how to do it without blowing up every landmine between you, this episode is for you. Joanna Lilley, therapeutic consultant and host of the podcast Success is Subjective, is back on Hopestream, and she's pulling back the curtain on what it actually looks like to help a young adult move toward help. Joanna works exclusively with the 18 to 29 crowd, an... | 49m 57s | ||||||
| 1/29/26 |  How Online Adult Content Impacts Youth, with Duane Osterlind | ABOUT THE EPISODE: When your child's phone becomes their constant companion, you might dismiss it as typical teenage behavior. But Duane Osterlind, LMFT with nearly two decades specializing in sexual addiction, shares an urgent reality: the average first exposure to online adult material is now 10 years old. This conversation illuminates why younger people are seeking help in their early twenties after years of private struggle that began in childhood. Duane offers perspective on ... | 44m 02s | ||||||
| 1/22/26 |  Be Ready When Your Child Is Ready To Accept Help for Addiction, With Brenda Zane | ABOUT THE EPISODE: You've been waiting for your child to say they're ready to get help. You've imagined that conversation a thousand times, rehearsed what you'll say, held your breath every time they seem close to opening up. But what happens if that moment arrives and you're under-prepared? What if that precious window closes before you even realize it was open? In this solo episode, I'm diving into a CRAFT procedure that often gets reduced to logistics when it's actually about something far... | 25m 24s | ||||||
| 1/15/26 |  How To Get Young People Ready for Real-World Sobriety, with Alex Zemeckis and Cannon Kristofferson | ABOUT THE EPISODE: When your child transitions from treatment back into everyday life, the real work begins. Alex Zemeckis and Cannon Kristofferson, co-founders of The Grounds Recovery and Mare's House, know the terrain intimately—not from textbooks or theories, but from walking that precarious path themselves. Now, years into their own recovery journeys, they've built a rock solid sober living ecosystem that helps young adults navigate the delicate nuances of early sobriety while building su... | 59m 58s | ||||||
| 1/8/26 |  Gas Station Garbage, Hidden Substances, and Helping Teens Find Healthy Connection, with Sebastian Martin | ABOUT THE EPISODE: If you’ve ever felt uncertain about what your teen or young adult might be using—and how easily accessible today’s substances have become—this episode is a must-listen. I sat down with Sebastian Martin, Executive Director at New Life House, a long-standing sober living program for young men, to unpack the alarming rise of so-called “gas station garbage”—substances like Kratom, kava, 7-0H, and “Feel Free” tonics that are marketed as harmless but can create dependency and ser... | 51m 03s | ||||||
| 1/1/26 |  Use Motivational Interviewing To Prevent Parenting Burnout, with Jennifer Ollis Blomqvist | ABOUT THE EPISODE: When Jennifer Ollis Blomqvist discovered Motivational Interviewing (MI) in a Swedish women's prison 25 years ago, she found more than a therapeutic technique—she discovered the antidote to professional burnout and the foundation for every meaningful conversation in her life. Now an MI expert and trainer who works with everyone from incarcerated individuals to parents navigating their children's substance use, Jennifer brings a refreshing perspective on how this eviden... | 55m 29s | ||||||
