    Saving You First: Self-Preservation, Go-To CRAFT Strategies and Taming Fear When Your Child Struggles With Addiction and Mental Health, with Brenda Zane
    May 22 2025

    EPISODE DESCRIPTION:

    In this episode, I offer what might feel like slightly brutal truths if you're parenting a young person who struggles with substances and mental health challenges. I emphasize the importance of self-preservation for parents, noting that while you cannot force lasting change in your child or children, you can create the best conditions to foster it.

    I discuss the "self-preservation continuum" - the balance between being fully (overly) involved in your child's recovery and maintaining personal health and sanity. I also provide practical tools you can focus on when you have no idea what to do, and highlight the destructive impact of fear when it dominates.

  • Addiction to Perfection: The Paradox of Self-Compassion for Achievement-Oriented Parents, with Cathy Cioth

    Addiction to Perfection: The Paradox of Self-Compassion for Achievement-Oriented Parents, with Cathy Cioth
    May 15 2025

    ABOUT THE EPISODE:

    We’re back with another episode of the ‘Cathy & Brenda Show’, and this week we tackle a topic we see recurring in our community and the parents we work with…achievement-oriented parenting. As two recovering perfectionists ourselves, Cathy and I both share examples of what it looks like to be achievement-focused when your child (or children) struggle with substances and mental health. We talk about the tendency some of us have to want everything on the outside to look a certain way, even when that’s doing damage to our kids, and how it can feel scary to apply self-compassion in fear of getting ‘weak’ or ‘soft.’

    We discuss the internal battles many of us face about wishing our kids would just “get it together” and how the Invitation To Change approach can help us instead look at them with compassionate curiosity to understand their behavior instead of punishing it. We also tap into two of our favorite authors and researchers, Dr. Kristin Neff and Jessica Lahey.

    If you identify as a problem solver, list-checker, task doer, results-focused person…this is your episode. We even go on a tangent or two, but promise you’ll be able to relate.

My daughter has been severely addicted to drugs for at least 6 years. She’s been in and out of dozens of rehabs and I’ve drained my retirement account and borrowed $6,000 from each of my family members to pay for it all. Then I lost my job because I used the wrong word on-air in between phone calls with the rehab facility and the insurance company that was kicking her out of treatment just as she was getting better. Then she crashed my car. So, now I’m living in Tijuana teetering on bankruptcy and homelessness and she needs a place to stay while she recovers from Covid. The only rule they have here is no smoking inside. I had to warn her about seven times that she couldn’t smoke marijuana inside the house today IN MEXICO where weed is still highly illegal. Finally, I had to ask her to leave. I’m not going to end up homeless on the streets of Tijuana because she can’t control herself enough not smoke marijuana inside. I’m sorry. I guess what I should have said is “how great you woke up early” but I listened to this podcast after the fact. I have nothing left to lose or give and I can’t do this anymore. She’s 18 now and it’s time she starts to lose instead of me. I’m really sad though. She’s safe back on the U.S. side with her drug dealer’s mother. But it’s really sad. I haven’t seen a whole lot of podcasts or online resources aimed at this devastating problem.

Thank you
