  • Four Counterintuitive Parenting Moves If Your Child Has Substance Use and Mental Health Challenges, with Brenda Zane

    Four Counterintuitive Parenting Moves If Your Child Has Substance Use and Mental Health Challenges, with Brenda Zane
    Jul 17 2025

    ABOUT THE EPISODE:

    In this episode from the vault, I draw from my own experiences to share four counterintuitive strategies that can transform relationships and encourage healing when you're parenting a young person struggling with substance use and mental health.

    I emphasize the importance of asking questions instead of giving commands, focusing on self-reflection rather than solely on your child, trusting a higher power, and broadening your perspective to see the bigger picture.

    I've also included recommendations for books, podcasts, and exercises to support you on this challenging journey, promising hope and community support along the way.

  • What You May Not Want To Hear: Ten Hard Truths Parents Need To Know If Your Child Is Misusing Substances, with Brenda Zane

    What You May Not Want To Hear: Ten Hard Truths Parents Need To Know If Your Child Is Misusing Substances, with Brenda Zane
    Jul 10 2025

    ABOUT THE EPISODE:

    This week I’m bringing back an episode from 2020 that is just as relevant today as it was then. The episode covers ten hard truths parents need to face when you recognize potential substance use, or if you know you’re dealing with an addiction.

    It’s a great episode for those who are new to the experience of having your child dabble in or become dependent on substances, and there are also truths that apply to the seasoned parent who’s been at this for a while.

    This is a straight-forward, lay-it-all-out-there episode that I hope will bring a sense of urgency if you’ve been floundering with what to do, and encourage you to share it with a friend if someone you know is in the early stages of, “what do I do!?” with their child or children.

  • Parenting Through the Messy and Bitter Times: Wisdom and Joy in the Face of A Child's Addiction, with Brenda Zane

    Parenting Through the Messy and Bitter Times: Wisdom and Joy in the Face of A Child's Addiction, with Brenda Zane
    Jul 3 2025

    EPISODE DESCRIPTION:

    It's summer and we're diving deep into the Hopestream episode vault to bring you some listener faves and a few that just work when you need connection and understanding. Today, you'll hear about The Secret Menu, originally aired in August of 2023 - with the addition of a new story and insights.

    Sometimes you can gain a different understanding of things by looking at them through a new lens. This bite-size episode does that for you as the parent of a young person who struggles with substances and mental health - in the form of a short story.

    You'll hear about a restaurant owner and her strange, secret menu. And for those who eat from it, it can provide benefits and gifts not available anywhere else.

    It's one you may want to single-task for to absorb the full meaning. Created with love and compassion by me, just for you.

My daughter has been severely addicted to drugs for at least 6 years. She’s been in and out of dozens of rehabs and I’ve drained my retirement account and borrowed $6,000 from each of my family members to pay for it all. Then I lost my job because I used the wrong word on-air in between phone calls with the rehab facility and the insurance company that was kicking her out of treatment just as she was getting better. Then she crashed my car. So, now I’m living in Tijuana teetering on bankruptcy and homelessness and she needs a place to stay while she recovers from Covid. The only rule they have here is no smoking inside. I had to warn her about seven times that she couldn’t smoke marijuana inside the house today IN MEXICO where weed is still highly illegal. Finally, I had to ask her to leave. I’m not going to end up homeless on the streets of Tijuana because she can’t control herself enough not smoke marijuana inside. I’m sorry. I guess what I should have said is “how great you woke up early” but I listened to this podcast after the fact. I have nothing left to lose or give and I can’t do this anymore. She’s 18 now and it’s time she starts to lose instead of me. I’m really sad though. She’s safe back on the U.S. side with her drug dealer’s mother. But it’s really sad. I haven’t seen a whole lot of podcasts or online resources aimed at this devastating problem.

Thank you
