When everything feels broken, could a simple cup of tea be the most powerful act of love?

In the midst of addiction recovery, parents often face overwhelming emotions, fractured relationships, and moments of deep helplessness. This episode explores how a single, quiet act of kindness can cut through the chaos—and reconnect you to the heart of what matters most.

• Learn how small, compassionate gestures can help rebuild trust without words.
