In this powerful and refreshingly honest episode of Finding New Waters, we’re joined by Roxanne McDonald, a recovery coach, family coach, interventionist, and founder of Recovery Resiliency Services. With over two decades of experience in the recovery field—and 24 years of continuous sobriety—Roxanne brings humor, heart, and hard-won wisdom to every conversation. She shares how laughter has become a bridge to healing in her coaching work, especially when addressing complex issues like ADHD, substance use, and family dynamics. From her time working in jails and treatment centers to her private practice today, Roxanne offers practical insights into boundaries, emotional regulation, and how families can support recovery without enabling.
