Sharing Without Shame Healing the Hidden Wounds of Addiction and Reclaiming Your Voice with Donna Marston and Loveli Brown

Healing Without Shame: A Mother’s Story of Addiction, Grief & Reclaiming Her Voice with Donna Marston

In this powerful and deeply human episode, Loveli Brown sits down with Donna Marston, author and founder of Sharing Without Shame™, for a vulnerable conversation about loving someone through addiction — and finding your own healing along the way.

Donna opens up about her son’s addiction journey and the emotional storm that reshaped her life: the guilt, the fear, the silence, and the masks she wore just to survive. Through truth-telling and self-compassion, she transformed her pain into a mission to help families break shame cycles, reconnect with themselves, and begin healing from the inside out.

In this episode, we explore:
• What families really experience when addiction touches their home
• The shame, codependency, and emotional burnout mothers often carry silently
• How generational wounds, the Inner Child, and the Mother Wound show up in addiction
• The process of reclaiming your identity when you've lost yourself in survival mode
• Practical tools to support your own emotional recovery — even when your loved one is still struggling

Donna’s honesty is a reminder that you can’t fix everyone else’s pain — but you can choose your own healing, peace, and power.

This conversation is for every mother, parent, partner, or loved one who has carried guilt or fear in silence. You deserve healing, too.
