For Moms Touched by a Child's Addiction

Letting Go of Guilt

Find Lasting Peace When It Lets Go of You

Saturday, November 14

at 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM Mountain Time on Zoom

If you're a mom who is loving a child through their addiction, if you could just let go of guilt, you would. But it doesn't just leave on its own. You need to unlearn and undo what keeps you stuck.

Guilt keeps you in old, ineffective roles and old patterns that do not work.

It's like a pesky weed that keeps coming up in your garden. You want to enjoy the flowers but the weed keeps coming up even though you've picked it out 20 times already. It might look like:

I made things worse. I pushed them away.

I shouldn't have said or done that.
I should have picked them up when they called.

I'm not letting my child live in my home when they're on the streets.

I'm a bad mother. I should be able to save my child.

It's not ok for me to be happy or laugh when my child is struggling.

Guilt ... It lurks in the background telling you that you should have seen the signs sooner. You should have known. You should have stopped it. You were too strict, or not strict enough. That if you had just said the right thing, done the right thing — things would be different.

You wake up replaying conversations at 2am. You second guess decisions you made years ago. You say yes to avoid more conflict even though you really want to say no. You carry a weight that never fully lifts — even on the good days. The guilt makes you hide and walk on egg shells.

And somewhere inside, you wonder: Will I ever stop feeling this way?

The answer is YES. And this immersive, laser focused, transformative program was created to show you HOW so that you can experience it NOW and have lasting peace.

WHAT LETTING GO OF GUILT IS:

Letting Go of Guilt is a six (6) week virtual healing experience designed specifically for moms like you who want to relieve the weight of guilt so that your love speaks clearer and louder, and more gently.

Through The Empowered Love Methodology, Joanne helps families relieve the many fears that are part of this journey, restore connection, communicate to inspire new thinking and change, and bring calm to the chaos.

She has sat with hundreds of moms in this exact pain — and she knows the way through so that you can save time, energy, and save the relationship with your child, so that there's a better chance they may save their own life.

Have questions?

How do I know it will work for me?

The methods shared are based on scientific research specifically designed for mindfulness based stress reduction, to calm the nervous system, and challenge limiting beliefs. The methods have worked for thousands of people, why not you?

Joanne helps people tap into their inner wisdom so that they find what is true and right for them, in their unique circumstances. You don't need someone telling you what to do. When you relieve and undo the misguided underlying thoughts and beliefs, your heart and love know how to lead the way.

Will "Letting Go of Guilt" be recorded?

No, Letting Go of Guilt will not be recorded in order to create an intimate, totally secure, warm and welcoming space to just be. There's just no way to get the transformation through a recording. Showing up live and participating in exercises is the only way to release the weight of guilt.

How is coaching different from therapy?

There are many paths to healing, and any that feel right for you are important. Go for it. Coaching and therapy are compatible and compliment each other. Coaching is designed to identify changes to make in the present and how to move forward to realize those changes. Coaching doesn't diagnose or analyze. It includes asking powerful questions to guide you to your answers. It is a partnership, co-creating opportunities for you to be inspired, find your inner motivation, and be empowered to create solutions and action plans. Coaching also includes acknowledging all parts of you with acceptance and moving forward, maximizing your strengths, wisdom, and resources.

How will this help my loved one?

You are made up of energy. If your energy is overwhelmed by stress and fear, it impacts your body, mind, and spirit and then that is what gets projected into the world. Fear has an energy, it makes things harder. Love has an energy that is much higher, it makes things calmer and kinder. Calming your body, mind, and spirit and then being guided by that more peaceful state of being is love. Love is your super power and Love Wins Here!

You have carried this long enough. One day. One decision. One step toward the peace you deserve.
