Meet Shar

Hello, and welcome to Beyond Hope. I’ve been on a journey for what seems like a lifetime. A journey to find my voice.

Over the years and with a sense of urgency, I’ve been pushing myself to learn, grow, and bust down barriers. Learning to show myself the compassion I give so freely. Learning to abandon shame, to forgive, and live a more meaningful life where I can love myself and others more fully.

If you are the mother of a loved one battling addiction, you are not alone. Together let’s lift each other up, share our experiences, and learn to heal and experience joy once again. A joy that is no longer contingent upon our addicted loved one’s recovery.

With love, Shar
