How Parents Can Show Up When Alcohol Enters the Picture w/ Joanna Lilley

Once you understand what drinking looks like through a young person’s eyes, the next question is… what can you actually do as a parent? These years can feel like walking a tightrope — you want to guide and protect them, but you also don’t want to push them away. In this episode, I talk with therapeutic consultant Joanna Lilly about how parents can build trust early, respond instead of react, and set real boundaries without closing the door on connection. She shares what she sees most often from families — the fears, the common missteps, and the small shifts that make a big difference. If you want to support your teen or young adult without losing that connection, this conversation will help you approach it with more calm and clarity.
