KL Wells: Championing Self-Care While Supporting a Loved One's Recovery
“Where voices in courage was born was I cobbled together all these resources- my tribes, the people that would hold me, but I should not have had to do that. That's a great resource for a lot of people.”
What do you do when the person you love is battling addiction, and the resources you need are nowhere to be found? KL Wells faced this very challenge. In this heartfelt episode of 'Show Up and Stay', KL shares her journey of supporting her son through his addiction and the eye-opening realization of how scarce support can be for those in her shoes.
Determined to make a difference, she founded Voices InCourage, a platform dedicated to providing resources and community for people navigating similar struggles. KL dives into the fears and barriers that often prevent people from seeking treatment and underscores the vital role of self-care. She passionately discusses breaking the cycle of shame, judgment, and guilt that surrounds addiction, advocating for a more compassionate approach.
This episode isn't just about coping; it's about thriving amidst the chaos by connecting with others who understand your journey. KL's story is a testament to the power of community and the transformative impact of asking for help. Whether you're supporting someone through addiction or seeking solace in your own recovery journey, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt encouragement.
