Please join us and our guest, Pamela Brinker, for a show on Conscious Bravery: Caring for Someone with Addiction. In her powerful new book, Pamela combines her professional knowledge with her personal experiences to create a caring and helpful guide for those who are dealing with loved ones struggling with addiction and mental health issues. Readers will learn not only how to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of addiction, but how to survive and thrive with positivity.

As she writes, “I’ve felt that way dozens of times and am here to offer you ways to pull yourself up, stand tall, and walk forward one shocked or exhausted step at a time.”
