When I Let Go of "Tough Love"...I Found Peace

In this raw and personal episode, Brandi Mac shares what happened when she stopped following the “tough love” narrative and started doing what she could actually live with. From the heartbreak of watching her daughter struggle with addiction to the moment she shaved her head as an act of surrender, Brandi reflects on how peace came not from control, but from radical acceptance.

This episode is for every parent, partner, or family member who’s ever been told to let go with love... and then been left drowning in grief and guilt.

She also introduces her new book, Doing What You Can Live With: A Survival Guide for Families Navigating Addiction, Grief, and Impossible Choices. A no-shame, deeply compassionate resource for families who need something real, not rehearsed.

If you’ve ever loved someone in addiction and didn’t know what to do… this one’s for you.
