It's not every day you get to be a fly on the wall for a heart-to-heart between a father and his children, but that's exactly what this week's episode of Positive Recovery MD offers. In a touching and transparent Father's Day special, host Jamie Demeris invites his children, Lauren and Dean, into the studio for a rare and meaningful exchange that spans generations, emotions, and lived experiences.
As the three of them share laughs, swap stories, and revisit pivotal memories, what unfolds is a raw and beautiful reflection on the power of authenticity, the scars and strength born of addiction, and the unshakable bonds of family.
Whether it's Dean sharing the lessons that shaped him or Lauren opening up about how recovery has touched her worldview, this episode is filled with moments that will tug at your heart and leave you thinking about your own relationships.
If you're looking for inspiration, connection, or just a reminder of how recovery ripples through generations in the most powerful ways, this one's for you.
