The Ultimate Journey for Family of Loved Ones Who Struggle with Addiction
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 loved one.
Let's walk this path together
Peace is Possible!
There are soooo many thoughts that, when believed, will take you far away from peace. Thoughts like:
"My loved one's future is limited, destroyed".
"I will never be happy until they're 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 loved one. And you don't have to!
Question Your Thinking, Change Your World
Loving from a place of peace 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 family member. For over 20 years as a Licensed Therapist specializing in Family Recovery, I’ve helped hundreds of families go from just surviving their loved one's addiction to becoming the safe, peaceful, supportive family member their loved one needs and the one they want to be. Because I’ve walked this journey, I know how exhausting it can be, how family can replay every conversation, worry as their loved one slowly slips away, and feel guilty that they got angry or think they did something to make it worse. I help families relieve the many fears that are part of this journey, restore connection, communicate to inspire, and bring calm to the chaos.
Fear is the number one contributing factor that causes so many preventable problems. That's why I'm passionate about supporting families through the hard stuff with expert coaching, meaningful discussion with real life application, with do-able skill building in a safe, supportive, and understanding space. Together, we make the hard easier. Love wins here!
Here's what you'll experience in The FearLess Mom!
Discover the thoughts, beliefs, and patterns that are shaping your life.
Acknowledge, welcome, and care for your emotions.
Recognize your capacity to meet and work with any painful experience.
Understand your motivations and fears.
Cultivate compassion ~ for yourself and your child.

Stay connected to yourself, no matter what life brings.

Why Now?
The longer you wait is the longer fear runs the show. Peace doesn't arrive after your loved one changes.
Peace starts with you, now and always. Give it to you, you give it to your loved one too.
Spots are limited so that everyone gets the support they need and deserve.

What can I expect from the course FearLess!

What is my time investment and how long does the program last?

It's important to develop continuity and consistency when trying on new ways of being and doing. Having accountability of other members in the course and coaching is the way to do that.

How is coaching different from therapy?
There are many paths to healing, and any that feel right for you are important. Go for it. Coaching and therapy are compatible and compliment each other. Coaching is designed to identify changes to make in the present and how to move forward to realize those changes. Coaching doesn't diagnose or analyze. It includes asking powerful questions to guide you to your answers. It is a partnership, co-creating opportunities for you to be inspired, find your inner motivation, and be empowered to create solutions and action plans. Coaching also includes acknowledging all parts of you with acceptance and moving forward, maximizing your strengths, wisdom, and resources.
How will this help my loved one?
You are made up of energy. If your energy is overwhelmed by fear - worry, guilt, anger, etc that is what gets projected into the world. You say yes, when you want to say no, then move into more tough emotions and fear. Fear has an energy, it makes things harder. Love has an energy that is much higher, it makes things kinder. We will have fear, we face big challenges. Ok, that's the reality of it, and the reality is that we can help ourselves through the struggles to transform fear to love. Or we stay stuck. I don't know anyone's timing or path, what you should or shouldn't do. I trust you will know if, when, and how to help yourself. And I know that when we heal, we heal relationships and can help in more helpful ways , from a place of love, not fear. And it takes some time and effort. At the very least, it helps energetically. Help yourself in healing and learning skillful loving, and that bumps up your help even more. The FearLess! course is designed to cover the mind, body, spirit connection so that you get clarity to know for yourself what is help-full from a place of love and skill, and what might not be because it comes from desperation and fear. Love is your power, not fear.
Can I cancel my enrollment if needed?
