Exploring the Intersection of Parenting and Recovery

In this episode of the Well Aware Podcast, we’re joined by Sarah Allen Benton, author of Parents in Recovery: Navigating a Sober Family Lifestyle, who also serves as a licensed clinician and Chief Clinical Officer at Waterview Behavioral Health, for a thoughtful conversation on recovery and family life. We’ll explore the unique challenges parents in recovery face as they balance sobriety, family life, identity, and long-term healing. Drawing from research, lived experience, and clinical insight, this episode highlights how recovery can strengthen family systems, reduce shame, and create space for connection, resilience, and growth across generations.
