Hi! Nice to meet you. I’m Jody.
I’m a Michigan personal growth author and a leader for adult children of alcoholics. I provide resources, information and inspiration to help adult children of alcoholics heal and create the lives they love!
Let’s talk about you for a sec.
Today, as many as 1 in 4 children in the U.S. have a parent who abuses alcohol. As grownups, they are more likely to face many challenges. Perhaps you are one of them – like me!
Do you always feel stuck?
Did you grow up with an alcoholic mom or dad? Or both?
Are you dragging with you issues from past experiences?
Do you feel responsible for everyone and everything?
If so, you’re a lot like I used to be.
Well, my new friend, it’s time to focus on you. You are among millions of adult children of alcoholics who, like you, were deeply affected by their parent’s addiction. No more waiting for the perfect time. The best time to take steps to create the life you love is now. A whole new chapter of your life begins now!
I want to help you figure out how to get unstuck and overcome your adult child of an alcoholic traits.
If I were standing in front of you right now, I’d probably hug you. It wouldn’t be awkward because if you’ve somehow landed on this website, we have mucho in common and we’d probably be instant friends.
MY STORY
I spent the first 26 years of my life trying to cure my mother of alcoholism. Fortunately, I finally got educated, started my healing journey and created the life I love! Read my whole story. I’ve been inspired by the words and stories of other people around the world so I’m sharing mine, too, as a way to pay it forward.
