Episode Description
Kathryn interviews Author Beverly Conyers MA.Almost half of the U.S. has a family member or close friend who has or is currently struggling with an addiction problem. With stress at an all time high, oftentimes we feel hopeless as to how to help our loved one. A Mother of an addict and bestselling author, Beverly Conyers, offers wisdom and insight to families who have walked this road. She draws on research, experience, and compelling personal stories from others to explain what families should know about substance abuse, interventions, relapse, and more. Conyers is one of the most respected voices in recovery whose books have been used in addiction facilities across the U.S. Through her books, she hopes to reduce the stigma of addiction to help families and friends develop effective coping strategies. Kathryn also interviews Author Devora Zack. Can people with fundamentally different ways of making sense of and engaging with the world work together? Devora Zack says the best use of our energy is to focus on our own reactions and perceptions rather than try to “fix” other people. She helps readers learn where they are on the Thinker (“Cactus”)/Feeler (“Snowflake”) spectrum. By including real-life scenarios that show how to nurture one’s nature while successfully connecting with those on the other side, Zack fearlessly and entertainingly dispels myths, squashes stereotypes, and transforms perceived liabilities into strengths. She is a Washington Post bestselling author and global keynote speaker and has been featured in Wall Street Journal, USA Today, ABC-TV, CNN, NBC, SiriusXM and Forbes, among others.
