What does it take to support a loved one through recovery? In this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff sits down with Leslie MacNabb, a self-care coach, yoga instructor, and recovery advocate, to answer that very question.

She talks about the necessity of taking ownership of your life, prioritizing your own needs, and putting your children first. Her approach is all about building a new partnership where both individuals grow together, creating a future that’s not just about surviving but thriving.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand the delicate balance of supporting a partner in recovery while also nurturing their own well-being. Leslie’s story is not just inspiring; it’s packed with practical advice that can help you navigate this challenging journey. Tune in to hear how focusing on self-care and mutual growth can lead to a beautiful and fulfilling life together.
