How to Heal While Loving Someone in Active Addiction | The Heart Shift Method™ with Donna Marston

Are you a parent, especially a mother, loving someone through addiction and feeling emotionally exhausted? In this powerful episode, we sit down with Donna Marston, also known as The Family Recovery Facilitator, to explore what healing looks like when someone you love is still struggling.

Donna shares her deeply personal journey as a mother who walked through the heartbreak of her son's addiction and emerged with a mission to support other families through it. She introduces her transformational framework, The Heart Shift Method™, which helps women reclaim peace and purpose through awareness, acceptance, boundaries, compassion, and commitment.

We talk about:

• What it means to heal while loving someone in active addiction
• The truth about codependency, guilt, and self-abandonment
• The bold decision to stop enabling and start empowering
• How Donna’s movement, Sharing Without Shame, is changing lives
• The challenges of stepping into leadership as a heart-led entrepreneur

Whether you're navigating addiction in your own family or supporting someone who is, this conversation is filled with compassion, realness, and hope. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of how to honor your own healing journey — without shame.
