“Can One Person’s Recovery Heal an Entire Family?” A Tribute to My Dad, and the Weekend That Changed Everything

Episode Description:
This episode is deeply personal. It’s more than a conversation—it’s a tribute to my father, Dr. Douglas Coombs, who was not only my dad, but my best friend. He graduated this life last summer, and I’m honored to share this recorded moment with him, alongside my sister Melissa Jones.

Together, we talk about how addiction impacted our family from the inside out, and how healing became possible—not through quick fixes or ultimatums, but through boundaries, vulnerability, and the slow rebuilding of trust.

You’ll hear about:

• The weekend in Newport Beach that changed everything
• How my dad and I reconnected after years of distance
• What it really looks like to set boundaries that protect, not punish
• And how emotional sobriety can ripple through an entire family system

If you’re a parent, a sibling, or someone who loves a person struggling with addiction, this episode will speak to the pain—and the possibility—of recovery that goes beyond the individual. My dad’s wisdom, humility, and quiet strength shaped my own journey. This is one way I get to honor that.
