What if the way we think about addiction is part of the problem? In this episode of Recounting Life Lessons, we're joined by Jeff Jones, coach, creator of The Family Recovery Solution, and former addiction professional. Jeff grew up in a family impacted by addiction and later worked inside the system designed to treat it—only to discover its deep limitations, stigmas, and blind spots. His personal and professional experiences inspired him to reimagine how families can become stronger than addiction by shifting mindsets, improving communication, and embracing curiosity instead of control. This conversation goes far beyond addiction. You'll walk away seeing how "both/and" curiosity thinking can open up new ways to approach challenges in your relationships, your mindset, and even the way you consume media and understand world issues. IN THIS EPISODE: Why traditional approaches to addiction and recovery often fall short—and what families can do differently How language, stigma, and shame can unintentionally limit healing and connection The power of "both/and curiosity thinking" to reduce black-and-white thinking and open space for more creative, compassionate solutions How shifting from judgment to curiosity transforms communication and relationships The ripple effect of applying these principles to your own mindset, your family, and even how you interpret media, politics, and world events How understanding multiple perspectives helps you grow, connect, and make more empowered choices in every area of life RESOURCES MENTIONED Jeff's Website: The Family Recovery Solution Free 3 Step Guide to Disrupt Addiction: https://gift.thefamilyrecoverysolution.com LinkedIn: Jeff Jones on LinkedIn Substack: [email protected]   ------------------------------------------------------------------- For our latest insights and things we don't share with the public, become a Sione and Alana Insider.
