<p>Do you have a loved one walking through addiction recovery—or are you in recovery yourself? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with author and recovery advocate Caroline Beidler to talk about how to walk alongside someone on the journey toward healing.</p><p>Caroline shares wisdom from her book <em>When You Love Someone in Recovery</em>, offering practical guidance through four foundational pillars that help families move from conflict to collaboration and from combative conversations to supportive ones. Together, they discuss why the phrase “tough love” can sometimes do more harm than good and how shifting our approach can create space for true healing and connection.</p><p>You’ll also hear about the incredible way God designed the brain to recover and renew, revealing the awe and beauty of His design in the healing process. Caroline, host of <em>The Circle of Chairs</em> podcast and founder of the Women’s Recovery Leadership Foundation, brings both personal insight and practical tools for those supporting someone in recovery.</p><p>This conversation offers hope, biblical encouragement, and practical ways to love well while maintaining healthy boundaries.</p><p>If you or someone you love is walking the road of recovery, this episode will remind you that healing is possible—and no one has to walk the journey alone.</p><p><strong>In this episode:</strong></p><ul><li><p>How to support someone in addiction recovery in a healthy way</p></li><li><p>Why “tough love” can hinder healing</p></li><li><p>The four pillars for walking alongside someone in recovery</p></li><li><p>The science of brain healing and God’s design for renewal</p></li><li><p>Moving from conflict to collaboration in recovery relationships</p><p>Connect with Caroline <a href="https://www.carolinebeidler.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.carolinebeidler.com/</a></p><p>Carline&#39;s podcast- <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/circle-of-chairs-with-caroline-beidler/id1864403863" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Circle of Chairs</a></p><p>Join Caroline on <a href="https://carolinebeidler.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Substack</a></p></li></ul><p></p>
