I think just the chaos and the constant change, um does different things to different people. Um, I know I carried a lot of shame, and that's something I've had to work through as an adult too: the shame of um, something that wasn't my shame to bear, which was my dad, and oh, it was embarrassing.
Lindsay Cowan, the witty and candid host of 'Soberland', is back with a heartfelt episode featuring her older sister, Kristin McCool. This episode dives deep into the sisters' shared experiences of growing up in a family affected by addiction. With their different fathers but the same mother, Lindsay and Kristin explore how their father's struggles with addiction shaped their childhoods and influenced their adult lives. They open up about the lasting impacts on their relationships, self-perception, and mental health.
The conversation doesn't shy away from tough topics like managing anxiety and depression or dealing with regrets. Instead, it offers a supportive space where listeners can find solace and understanding. Lindsay and Kristin also share their insights on holistic and natural approaches to mental health, providing practical tips and relatable stories. If you're looking for an honest, engaging discussion that blends humor with heartfelt moments, this episode is a must-listen.
It's a testament to the strength of sibling bonds and the resilience needed to overcome family trauma.
