Ep 102: Eric Gallagher's Healing Journey: A Son's Perspective on Addiction
What happens when a mother’s battle with alcohol addiction becomes the catalyst for her son’s spiritual awakening? Eric Gallagher, a devoted husband and father, shares his poignant journey from the heart of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where the shadows of his mother’s alcoholism loomed over his youth. Eric recounts the turbulent days following an unexpected intervention, which marked the beginning of his quest for healing. Guided by his father’s encouragement to explore faith, Eric experienced a life-altering conversion at church camp, setting him on a path to ministry and helping him turn personal turmoil into a mission spanning two decades.
Eric’s story offers an intimate look into the complexities of family dynamics disrupted by addiction and the transformative power of faith. We explore how grace and forgiveness can guide families through adversity, emphasizing the strength found in open communication and understanding. Eric discusses the significance of breaking free from destructive patterns and embracing a God-centered approach to healing, offering insights into the role of love, support, and community in overcoming personal struggles. This episode highlights the spiritual dimensions of addiction and advocates for moving beyond blame to find true healing.
We also dive into the importance of presence and silence, particularly in the age of constant digital distractions. Eric shares how fostering intentional spiritual practices at home, such as moments of silence and engagement in prayer, can profoundly impact young people. We examine how parents can nurture their children’s spiritual journeys by being authentically present and creating opportunities for meaningful conversations. By sharing his experiences, Eric invites us to consider how vulnerability and authenticity can lead to healing and growth within families, ultimately enriching our spiritual lives and those of our children.

Ep 104: The Power of Community while Working Toward Alcohol Freedom
Nearly two decades ago, feeling lost and overwhelmed while trying to conceive, I stumbled upon a lifeline in the form of an online community.
This refuge became a space where I connected with women who were navigating similar struggles. Together, we created a group that became a source of deep and enduring support, demonstrating the undeniable power of shared experiences and virtual camaraderie.
Through this personal story, I invite you to join me, on a journey exploring how online communities can offer genuine solace and friendship.
In our latest episode, we shift focus to a different kind of community—a 30-day alcohol reset program designed to help women manage social situations without alcohol. With daily prompts and tools, this supportive community!
