Finding Your Voice, Healing Family Patterns & Helping Others Heal with Jamie McKibben-Reese | Ep74

"Never give up. It's never too late. And no one's ever too far gone.” In this episode of the Sharing Without Shame Podcast, Donna Marston welcomes author, interventionist, life coach, and recovery coach Jamie McKibben-Reese for an honest conversation about addiction, recovery, family dynamics, codependency, and the healing that happens when we learn to use our voices.

Rather than presenting recovery as a destination, she describes it as a continually evolving lifestyle that requires self-awareness, accountability, support, and a willingness to keep growing. In This Episode, Donna and Jamie Discuss:💠Jamie's personal journey of recovery from alcoholism and what sobriety has taught her💠Why recovery is a lifestyle rather than simply abstaining from alcohol or substances💠Jamie's experience with SMART Recovery, cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, yoga, Bible study, and other tools💠How anxiety contributed to Jamie's drinking and why changing thought patterns became an important part of her recovery💠The importance of surrounding yourself with safe people who will provide honest accountability💠Why people in the helping professions also need permission to struggle and give themselves grace About Jamie McKibben-Reese Jamie McKibben-Reese is an author, interventionist, life coach, recovery coach, and motivational speaker. She draws from her own experience with alcoholism and recovery to help individuals and families navigate difficult seasons and move toward healing and restoration.

How Childhood Trauma Fuels Addiction and the Path to Lasting Recovery with Kimberly Deziree | Ep72

Many people believe recovery is simply about quitting alcohol or drugs. But true healing goes much deeper.
