How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? On this episode of Recovery Recharged, Ellen Stewart, known as the Pushy Broad from the Bronx, welcomes Thomas Gagliano, a family dynamics expert and best-selling author. With his candid and relatable storytelling, Tom dives into the powerful impact childhood messages have on our lives and how they shape the roles we play.
From being a caretaker in a dysfunctional family to overcoming addiction, Tom's journey is a testament to resilience and transformation. He shares personal stories that highlight the importance of recognising these early messages and how they influence adult relationships and self-worth.

Tom's insights offer a roadmap for listeners dealing with similar struggles, encouraging them to challenge negative self-talk and embrace healing. Ellen and Tom also touch on the importance of community in recovery, the significance of taking direction from trusted individuals, and the role of a higher power in overcoming addiction.
