THE EMPOWERED PATH FOR ADULT CHILDREN OF ALCOHOLICS

with JODY LAMB

Reader, hi!

This week, I shared something deeply personal: my full story of growing up with my mom’s alcoholism: how it shaped me, what I carried into adulthood, and how I finally began healing.

🎥You can watch it here:

👉My Mom’s Alcoholism: How It Shaped Me & How I Finally Healed

video preview

If you grew up with an alcoholic parent or in a chaotic home, you’ll probably see yourself in parts of my story:

  • Trying to hold everything together, even as a kid.
  • Feeling anxious, hypervigilant, or “different” from everyone else.
  • Taking care of everyone else while ignoring your own needs.

I used to think I was alone in those feelings. I wasn’t and neither are you.

In the video, I share:
✨ My earliest memories of my mom’s drinking
✨ How it impacted my teenage years and relationships
✨ The turning point where I realized I needed to heal myself
✨ The steps I took to build a peaceful, joyful life

If you’ve ever wondered, “Will I ever feel normal? Can I really heal?”—please watch this. I made it for you.

I’d love to know - Which part of my story resonated most with you? Please leave a comment on the video or reply to this message. I read every comment and message.

At my job, I can often sense when someone’s lived through similar stuff, too. They over-deliver. They apologize for everything. They anticipate everyone’s needs.
