Self Preservation: Don’t Let Your Child’s Substance Use Take You Down, with Brenda Zane

ABOUT THE EPISODE:
This personal episode is dedicated to all the moms who have put their life, dreams, career, and sanity on hold while they fight for their child's safety and health. For those who are having health issues and have given up on joy because of the stress in their life.

I share the bigger meaning behind what this podcast and The Stream represent both to me and to the world at large and encourage you to think about your dreams and passions that might be lying dormant while your child's situation takes over your entire life. We'll also learn about allostatic load (what the heck!?) and why it's important to know about and control. 

You'll come away with practical ideas and an action plan for ways to keep the pilot light lit on at least one of your dreams.
