If you have an addicted loved one, there are four crucial things that you need to know and understand about the addiction. I call them The 4C's. You didn't Cause it, You can't Control it, You can't Cure it, You DO have Choices.

Linda is a Family Recovery Coach who supports people who have been or are being affected by a loved one in addiction.

She is the founder of Hopeless to Happy Coaching and the 12-week 'The Rediscovery Over Addiction Roadmap' (R.O.A.R.) online program. R.O.A.R. is a program for friends and families who have an addicted loved one in their lives. It teaches them how to rediscover themselves, how important their self-care is and how to support the addict in the right way. The course also empowers them to create bespoke coping strategies to get them through the madness and chaos.

She is a Mom of a son who was in active addiction for 25 years and is now in recovery. After 15 years, she found support, and that was when the magic began to happen. She learned about addiction, traits of an addict and most importantly, self-care and how to find herself again.

There are between 3 & 5 million families and friends suffering in silence due to the stigma of addiction and fear of judgement from others. Her passion is to find these people, help them turn their lives around, and support their addicted loved ones in seeking the professional support they need.

As well as speaking out at every opportunity regarding the judgement stigma and shame that goes with addiction, her mission is to encourage people to reach out for help earlier so they don't have to go through 25 years of chaos with their addicted loved one as she did.
