Get In The Herd with Alex Bond & Honesty Liller and special guests Lisa Bennett, Debbie Rosenbaum, and Marta Lefleor

Parenting is tough enough without the added challenge of a child's addiction. In this episode of 'Get In The Herd', host Alex Bond and Honesty Liller sit down with a remarkable panel of mothers—Lisa Bennett, Debbie Rosenbaum, and Marta Lefleor—who've faced this very struggle. They open up about their personal journeys, sharing raw and honest stories that will resonate with anyone dealing with substance use in the family.

These mothers discuss the heavy burden of stigma, often unfairly placed on parents, and how it compounds their already overwhelming challenges. One mother poignantly states, 'there's almost this sense of- I don't know, shame of being like, oh, your kid's an addict, you must be a bad parent. And it's not about the parent, and I as a parent, I mean I have had a lot of guilt myself'.

This heartfelt conversation dives into the emotional rollercoaster of grief and loss, but also highlights the transformative power of finding purpose and giving back. The panelists stress the importance of peer support and community connections, which can make a world of difference for families navigating the turbulent waters of addiction. If you're looking for a dose of hope and practical advice, this episode offers both in spades.

Tune in to hear these courageous mothers break down stigmas and offer a lifeline to families in need.
