What happens when a woman struggling with addiction becomes pregnant — and discovers there are little to no resources to help her? In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, Tom and Ben sit down with Heather, a researcher and advocate, to unpack the hidden struggles women face when battling addiction, especially during pregnancy.

From stigma and lack of support to how treatment centers and families can respond, this conversation pulls back the curtain on an issue most people never talk about. Why pregnant women are one of the most stigmatized groups in addiction.

The uphill battle mothers face when seeking treatment. How stigma and lack of resources often keep women from asking for help. Stories of hope and what real recovery can look like for women and families.

This is one of our most eye-opening conversations yet — whether you're in recovery yourself, love someone who is, or simply want to understand this issue better.
