This week on the SobahSistahs Podcast, I sit down with the incredible Amber Hollingsworth, a national addiction recovery specialist with over 20 years of experience and founder of the Hope For Families Recovery Center.
Amber’s work is unique — she doesn’t believe families need to wait for a “rock bottom” moment. Instead, she empowers women to set compassionate boundaries, support loved ones struggling with addiction, and break free from cycles of codependency without losing themselves.
Through her YouTube channel, Put The Shovel Down, Amber has already taught these tools to over 700,000 people. And in this conversation, she shares her warmth, wisdom, and no-nonsense strategies to help you protect your peace while supporting others.
What to do if your partner still drinks while you’ve chosen sobriety.
How to handle slips — and whether you should “restart” your day count.
Why going back to drinking never works the way we think it will.
Amber’s approach is compassionate, clear, and non-judgmental — offering real hope and practical tools you can apply right away in your own life.
Don’t miss this one — it’s packed with insight and encouragement that every woman in recovery needs to hear.
