The Ultimate Journey for Moms of Adult Children Struggling with Substance Use
The Fearless Mom
A 6-week live, online experience to be moved from fear into your superpower ~ love ~ so that you can show up clear, calm, connected, and create a path of peace for you and your child.
Let's walk this path together
YES to Peace and LovePeace is Possible, Now!
There are soooo many thoughts that, when believed, will take you far away from peace. Thoughts like:
"My child's future is limited, destroyed".
"I will never be happy until my child is better."
"I did something wrong. I failed"
And on, and on, and on, and on. You're not alone thinking thoughts like these. AND,
You sure don't want to be stuck believing them, and having them block the power of your love, as they disconnect you from your own heart and wisdom, and from your child. And you don't have to!
Question Your Thinking, Change Your World
Loving from a place of peace (not fear) can solve a whole lot of stress and confusion!
“Your child does drugs, and you get your hit by believing the horror movies in your head. I did this Work and set myself free. And it was so attractive to my daughter that she ended up setting herself free.”
~ Byron Katie

Welcome, I'm Joanne
Hello to you, my fellow courageous mom. I'm Joanne Richards, mom of a child who struggles with substance use and mental health issues. I'm also a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie, Certified Grief Educator, with a Certification in The Invitation to Change and Trauma Sensitive Heart Math. I've earned a broad personal and professional perspective of loving a child through addiction.
I believe that unless and until we do our own healing, we will remain in a cycle of suffering and pass that energy on. I have caused more difficulty, estrangement, and increased struggle because I just didn't know or wasn't doing enough for my inner peace. Much of it was preventable. Of course, I didn't do it deliberately; I did it because of fear, lack of knowledge, and skills.

Fear is the number one contributing factor that causes so many preventable problems. That's why I really want to support moms through the hard stuff with expert coaching, meaningful discussion, and doable skill building within a safe, supportive, and understanding community of other moms, where we're informed and have a treasure box of tools to make the hard easier. Love wins here!
