In this eye-opening episode, Robyn Priest and Charlotte Armstrong dive into one of the most complex and heartfelt dynamics in mental health and substance use recovery: the tension between personal experience and family expectations.

What happens when someone living with mental health challenges or substance use defines recovery one way—and their family sees it differently? Robyn and Charlotte unpack the emotional layers, the misunderstandings, and the power struggles that can arise when perspectives clash.

Whether you’re walking your own recovery path or supporting someone you love, this episode will challenge assumptions, spark empathy, and offer real tools for bridging the gap.

Listen now to explore how we can honor lived experience and support systems—without losing sight of what recovery truly means.
