Jodee Prouse - This is not a partial glimpse of addiction--it is the whole story. It begins with a violent childhood that bonded two children together forever, perhaps setting the stage for what was to come. Jodee's younger brother Brett became an alcoholic. And she the sister of an alcoholic.As he walked the thin line between life and death, she experienced gut-wrenching highs and lows, obsessively doing everything she could to get his life back on track, sacrificing her own young children, marriage, career, and personal health. Her love for him and his dependence on her would last them a lifetime and almost destroy them both. Like the millions of people worldwide who love someone addicted to drugs or alcohol, Jodee believed she was doing all the right things.Written with extreme candor, no shame, and in the hope of helping other families get help for themselves as well as their loved ones, The Sun is Gone sheds a bright light on the often-disturbing reality of the progression of alcoholism and what goes on behind closed doors.

If the well is dry, you have nothing to give. The wisdom inherent in this simple sentence helped me leave unhealthy relationships that were draining my energy, destroying my joy and keeping me from being of service in a positive way. My guest, Jodee Prouse, understands this concept. She helps women embody their strength, transcend family trauma, and disengage from codependency with family members. Her mission is to help women recognize that love is the reason not to engage, that taking care of oneself first is not a betrayal or selfish. Making the hardest choices may seem to be cruel, but, in fact, is healthier for everyone. Jodee spent more than 30 years trying to protect a brother ultimately lost in alcoholism, giving so much it affected her emotional well-being, nearly cost her marriage, and risked endangering her children's mental health. Please join us Thursday to learn the path to breaking free from codependency, dysfunctional family patterns, and family trauma and drama.

Catherine is here today with Jodee Prouse. Jodee Prouse is a speaker and author of the powerful memoir The Sun is Gone: A Sister Lost in Secrets, Shame, and Addiction and How She Broke Free. She is an outspoken advocate to eliminate the shame and stigma surrounding Addiction and Mental illness as well as empowering women to survive life's challenge's and family crisis. How many times have you lost yourself in some chronic family crisis, giving and giving until there is no more left to give-and yet you give more? Out of duty. Out of love. Out of knowing that everyone is looking to you? As women, we have often learned from childhood that we are the ones that must be the peacemakers, the problem-solvers, the fixers … the ones to make concessions. The ones whose needs come last. And we sometimes do this with dire consequences, losing ourselves, sometimes our partners and our children-and even our souls. Jodee's story begins as a child where she became her sweet little brother's protector as she witnessed alcohol-fuelled fights behind closed doors. She is the grand-daughter, step-daughter, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, niece, great-niece, aunt and cousin to alcoholics. But nothing impacted her more than when her closest friend, her magnificent brother became addicted to alcohol.

I am what is known as an ACOA (Adult Child of Alcoholic). I say that with love and respect; after all, that has played a huge role in who I am. At first glance my book is about addiction and complicated family relationships. The bigger message however, is about finding your inner strength to sort through your own life’s challenges. On YOUR terms. To not be ashamed of your story, but live your truth; openly and honestly. It is never too late. I am 48 years old, and with the release of my memoir, I have finally found my voice. Embracing and acknowledging past mistakes and celebrating achievements. http://jodeeprouse.com/

Jodee Prouse is the Embattled Woman’s Champion. She helps a woman recognize that they have the strength to transcend family trauma, and the power to disengage from codependency with those family members who are at the heart of the drama. Her mission is to help women recognize that love is the reason NOT to engage, that taking care of oneself first is not a betrayal or selfish. Making the hardest choices may seem to be cruel or callous, but, in fact, are healthier for all parties. Jodee spent more than 30 years seeking to protect a brother ultimately lost in alcoholism, giving so much it nearly cost her marriage and risked endangering her children’s mental health. The grand-daughter, daughter, stepdaughter, daughter-in- law, sister-in- law, niece, great-niece, aunt, cousin, and sister to alcoholics, she has tremendous empathy for anyone who has gone through or lives with a family in constant emotional crisis. Her gripping and tragic story, told powerfully in The Sun is Gone: A Sister Lost in Secrets, Shame, and Addiction and How I Broke Free, unfolds while she is also growing an enormously successful beauty products business. Pulled in so many directions personally and professionally, she finally finds the strength to make the painful and necessary decisions that restored her emotional equilibrium, self-respect and protected herself and those closest to her. All along the way, while still loving her brother as he lived his own journey. Committed to her new mission to empower women to find their strong inner core and make healthy decisions amidst family dysfunction, chaos, and crisis, Jodee recently sold her business and now serves as an advocate.
