Dr. Stranger gets to the heart of the matter in helping people with loved ones who experience substa

Dr. Stranger gets to the heart of the matter in helping people with loved ones who experience substance abuse, mental health and other problems.

Today was one of those moments that fills the soul.

Recording with my dear friend, the extraordinarily talented and iconic photographer Cheryl Fox, reminded me how powerful it is when art, truth, and friendship come together.

Cheryl has spent a lifetime capturing the essence of humanity, its strength, vulnerability, and beauty, and sitting beside her today felt like honoring a shared commitment to storytelling that heals, awakens, and endures.

Grateful for meaningful conversations, creative collaboration, and friendships that deepen with time.

This is why we do the work. 🤍

There is a moment in every healing journey when pretending stops working.

In my years of intervention and coaching, I’ve watched this transformation unfold thousands of times. It doesn’t happen overnight, and it isn’t pretty, but it is powerful.

We begin with purification. The masks fall.
The stories we told to survive, to protect, to hide our pain, finally burn away. This is where courage is born.
Then comes dissolution.

The old version of you, the one shaped by fear, perfectionism, substances, or silence, begins to melt. It can feel disorienting, even terrifying, but it is necessary.

And then, illumination. Light breaks through. You start to see your life differently. Not as failure, but as preparation. Every hardship carried a lesson. Every wound held meaning.

Finally, embodiment. You step into who your story was preparing you to be. Your wounds become wisdom. Your trauma becomes your superpower.
This is the journey I write about in my upcoming book, Trauma Is Your Superpower.

It is the work of turning pain into purpose, and survival into leadership. I cannot wait to share it with you.

Three podcasts recorded and the mic is officially cooling down 🎙️✨

So many powerful conversations, real stories, and meaningful insights coming your way. I cannot wait to share these episodes with you all very soon, they’re honest, heartfelt, and packed with wisdom you won’t want to miss.

Stay tuned… this is just the beginning 💫

This morning was truly special.

I was deeply honored to speak at the Rancho Santa Fe Senior Center, surrounded by wisdom, warmth, laughter, and meaningful conversation. 🤍

There is something profoundly grounding about being in a room filled with lived experience, resilience, and stories that remind us what truly matters.

Thank you for the thoughtful questions, the open hearts, and the opportunity to connect. Moments like these are why I do this work.

Grateful beyond words.

A relationship isn’t built on perfection.
It’s built on communication.

Being in relationship means learning how to listen without preparing a defense, how to speak with honesty instead of fear, and how to stay present when it would be easier to withdraw.

Communication is not just words, it’s tone, timing, patience, and the willingness to be understood and to understand.

It’s choosing curiosity over assumption.
Connection over control.
Repair over being right.

Healthy relationships don’t avoid hard conversations.

They learn how to have them with respect, care, and compassion.

If you live near Rancho, love to see you there

Success should never come at the cost of your health, your family, or your peace.

In her decades of work with families in crisis, Dr Louise Stanger has watched a quiet shift take place, where the pressure to get ahead has turned prescription stimulants like Adderall into a dangerous shortcut for productivity.

What often starts as “just trying to keep up” can slowly become anxiety, dependence, exhaustion, and disconnection from the people who matter most.

Because it comes from a pharmacy. Because it’s normalized. Because everyone is chasing more.

This is a reminder to pause and ask a harder question:
What does success really mean if it costs you your well-being?

True achievement includes clarity, balance, and being fully present for your life, not just productive in it.

Something exciting is unfolding… 🎙️✨

I’m stepping into a brand-new podcast adventure alongside wellness entrepreneur Lauren Fields, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Lauren is the kind of woman who leads with heart, intention, and vision. She’s a true builder in the wellness space, thoughtful, grounded, and deeply inspiring.

Every conversation with her feels expansive, honest, and full of possibility, and I’m so excited for what we’re creating together. 🌿🤍

Two journeys, one shared mission: real conversations, meaningful growth, and healing that goes beyond the surface.

More to come, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

I know how hard it is to pick up the phone.
The fear of saying the wrong thing.
The worry of pushing too hard, or not hard enough.
The ache of loving someone and feeling powerless.

If you’re standing in that moment right now, please know this:
you don’t have to do it alone.

I am here.
To listen without judgment.
To guide with experience and care.
To help families take the next right step, together.

Hope often begins with one brave call.

01/04/2026

Hope is not wishful thinking.
Hope is a psychological lifeline.

In my work, I’ve seen this truth again and again: when someone believes change is possible, their nervous system softens, their mind opens, and healing finally has space to begin. Hope doesn’t deny pain, it gives pain a direction.

Research shows that hope strengthens resilience, improves outcomes, and helps people endure what once felt unbearable.

But beyond the science, hope is a choice we make daily, to try again, to ask for help, to believe we are not beyond repair.

If you’re reading this and struggling, let this be your reminder:
You don’t need certainty to move forward.
You only need hope.

— Dr. Louise Stanger

It is now 2026, and I cannot think of a better time to invite yourself into change.

Change doesn’t arrive by chance; it arrives when we choose honesty, courage, and support. A new year is not about perfection, it’s about permission.

Permission to heal, to grow, to ask for help, and to step into the life you know is possible.

If something in you has been quietly asking for more peace, more clarity, more freedom, listen. This can be your moment.

You don’t have to do it alone.

01/02/2026

As we step into a new year, I want to remind you of this:
You are still here. And that matters more than you know.

If the past year tested you, stretched you, or asked more of you than you thought you could give, take a moment to honor your resilience. Growth doesn’t always look like triumph.

Sometimes it looks like choosing to keep going.

This new year is not about perfection.
It’s about progress, presence, and possibility.

May this year bring healing where there was hurt, clarity where there was confusion, and hope where there was doubt.

You are capable of more than you realize, and you do not have to walk this path alone.

Wishing you peace, strength, and courage in the year ahead.

Happy New Year.
