In our newest episode of Recoverycast, Jenna Foster reflects on what it was like growing up as the child of an alcoholic parent. Suppressing her feelings and learning to fend for herself at a young age left her feeling deeply isolated, confused, and anxious. That unresolved childhood hurt ultimately paved the way for more than a decade of struggle with substance use. Today, as a mother of two, Jenna uses her past to break intergenerational cycles of trauma and create a safe environment for her children.

Is your marketing budget driving real admissions, or just noise? Before behavioral health centers scale ad spend, they need the infrastructure in place to turn inquiries into care. High-performing admissions teams don't rely on anecdotes or "vibes"...they rely on standardized scoring, 5-minute response times, and structured role play to build a predictable growth engine. When you standardize your admissions process, you stop guessing which channels bring qualified leads and start making data-backed decisions that scale.

How did weight-loss drugs suddenly end up on the radar for addiction treatment? In our newest episode of RECOVERable, host Terry McGuire sits down with Dr. Steven Klein to dive into the surprisingly long history of GLP-1 medications. Though they feel like a modern phenomenon, these drugs have actually been used to treat type 2 diabetes since 2005. Dr. Klein explains that once millions of patients began taking them for weight loss, researchers started notice staggering anecdotal feedback: individuals simply didn’t crave alcohol, nicotine, or other compulsive behaviors the way they used to. This accidental discovery launched a new wave of rigorous, evidence-based science.

“It’s okay to be where you are.” 💜 Before the fame of F Boy Island, before becoming a dating coach, and before finding the love of his life, Casey Johnson was caught in a devastating, hidden cycle. Behind the reality TV smile, he was using binge drinking and other substances to cope with OCD, crippling anxiety, and severe panic attacks. It all led to a terrifying emotional low point on his 27th birthday. In our newest episode of Recoverycast, Casey shares the exact words he would say to that younger, struggling version of himself. It’s a message of profound self-compassion a vulnerability. Two words we would use to summarize this entire episode. Casey’s journey to sobriety will have you laughing, and crying and leave you inspired. We are so grateful he traveled all the way to Madison WI to share it with us!

What exactly is EMDR therapy? In our newest episode of RECOVERable with host Terry McGuire, licensed clinical psychologist and trauma expert Dr. Jenny Hughes breaks down the origins, structure, and science behind Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. She shares the fascinating history of how EMDR was accidentally discovered by psychologist Francine Shapiro in the 1980s, highlighting how this powerful "bottom-up" therapy helps process deep-seated stress. While many people associate EMDR strictly with eye movements, Dr. Hughes explains that bilateral stimulation is just one piece of a much larger puzzle. This conversation provides a clear, practical guide on how the technique unsticks trauma in the brain where traditional talk therapy often falls short. Watch the full episode now to discover how EMDR works and learn how to safely find a certified therapist to guide your healing journey. Find the full episode wherever you get your podcasts!

Alcohol use disorder rarely happens overnight; it is a progressive condition that develops in distinct stages. The journey from balanced drinking to severe dependence often starts subtly, such as drinking to cope with stress rather than for social enjoyment. Over time, problematic patterns form, control slips away, and alcohol can dominate daily life despite serious consequences. Recognizing these warning signs early, like increased binge frequency or emerging withdrawal symptoms, is a critical step toward intervention. If this progression looks familiar to you or someone you know, please remember that recovery is entirely possible.
