Introducing Overcoming Family
I am thrilled to invite you to something we’ve been working hard on and I think will be deeply meaningful: my new radio show, Overcoming Family, co-hosted with the wonderful Leslie Glass and airing on HealthyLife.net’s Change Series. We step on-air the third Monday of every month at 2 p.m. PT, with an encore broadcast at 2 a.m. PT. Overcoming Family dives into real talk on healing family wounds—mothers, fathers, siblings, children, in-laws. We give honest insights, expert tools, and hope to transform your toughest, and often most important, relationships.
I’ve been writing about family and relationships for decades and now I’m going to talk about them. The point of Overcoming Family is to share all the knowledge and experience Leslie and I have acquired since 2011 as we’ve written articles, books, made documentaries and become experts on recovery, healing and relationships. No one knows better how hard living with pain and resentment can feel but also how rewarding and healing it is when relationships can be repaired, new communication methods can be employed and families can come back together. When this wonderful opportunity to have a radio show came to us, we didn’t hesitate. We know this is going to be great.
Why Overcoming Family Matters
Because we’re all dealing with some family issue or member, trouble with a relationship, or unhealed feelings from the past. Not only does it hurt your mental state but is can show up in your current life and relationships today. Whether it’s tension at the dinner table or unspoken hurts that ripple through generations, family dynamics can be complex—even exhausting. That’s why Overcoming Family is more than a show—it’s a healing circle for anyone navigating the messiness, love, and growth found within family ties. Think of us as your weekly dose of compassion, practical insight, and heartfelt connection.
What You Can Expect On Overcoming Family
Lots of ways to overcome whatever family member or relationship is troubling you. We’ll have different topics for each month, special guests we’ll interview for their professional expertise and more. You know we love lifestyle, so we’ll be talking about our own recovery lifestyle and how we manage staying OK no matter what using spirituality, exercise, nutrition, self-help and advocacy. What else?
-
Real Conversations – No fluff, no jargon—just honest discussions about the issues that test our family bonds: misunderstandings, expectations, boundaries, and those “How do we even talk about this?” moments.
-
Tools And Lifestyle Tips That Actually Help – We’re not selling quick fixes. Instead, expect grounded strategies you can use right away—whether it’s how to say “I need space,” how to repair trust, or how to love someone even when they drive you a little (or a lot) crazy.
-
Shared Stories, Shared Healing – You’ll hear stories from people who’ve been in your shoes—sometimes funny, sometimes painful, always real. We bring empathy to the mic, and laughter and insight along with it.
