Breaking Cycles and Finding Your Voice: My Conversation on the Becoming Sound Podcast
I recently had the honor of being a guest on the Becoming Sound podcast with the inspiring Krista Zaft. Together, we explored what it means to grow up as the child of an alcoholic and how to find healing, community, and self-compassion in adulthood.

This conversation was one of the most openhearted I’ve shared publicly, and I’m thrilled to pass it along to you.
What We Talked About
In this episode, I shared my experience of growing up with an alcoholic mother and the ripple effects it had on my life as an adult. We talked about the pivotal role healing and community have played in my recovery and why it’s never too late to break free from old patterns.
Here are some of the takeaways from our discussion:
- Support groups offer community, understanding, and hope.
- Writing and storytelling can be powerful healing practices.
- Boundaries are essential for protecting your peace and building healthy relationships.
- Addiction is not your fault and recognizing that is freeing.
- Simple daily practices may seem small, but they are incredibly powerful.
- It’s never too late to begin your healing journey and create a new legacy for your family.
Why Your Story Matters
One of the themes we returned to again and again is that your story matters. By sharing openly, we not only find healing for ourselves but also create space for others to step into recovery and growth.
If you’ve ever felt like your story isn’t “big enough” or “important enough,” let this be your reminder: your voice can inspire change—both in your own life and in the lives of others.
