What happens when chaos becomes your normal? For Carol Beaumont, living with a partner battling alcoholism forced her to confront addiction, resilience, and self-discovery in ways she never expected.

In this episode of Dropped Balls & Big Calls, Carol shares her raw and inspiring journey, from navigating the emotional toll of living with addiction to creating Her Courage Speaks, a platform that empowers women through storytelling. She opens up about the challenges of leaving, the healing power of community, and the courage it takes to embrace peace after years of chaos.

This conversation is for anyone who’s felt the weight of supporting someone through addiction, or anyone searching for resilience, empowerment, and growth on the other side of hardship.
