Girlfriends, episode number 372, a Catholic approach to addiction and recovery with Keaton Douglas.

Hello and welcome to girlfriends. I'm Danielle Bean. I'm a wife and a mom, and I'm on a mission to help you know your worth as a woman so you can find peace, balance, and joy and family living. This week, I'm talking with

Keaton Douglas about the important topic of addiction and recovery from a Catholic perspective.

Let's get going.

Hey, girlfriend. welcome to the show. I am thrilled to be joining you here on the podcast again this week.

I just first want to give a shout out and a thank you to everybody who joined me over this past weekend for the A Heart Like Mary's virtual retreat over at Good Catholic. It was wonderful to be able to connect about this important topic, especially during Mary's month. I love to read about

So I'm so grateful for those of you who showed up. Those of you who registered and are going to be

watching after the fact, I look forward to hearing your thoughts and your contributions in the

coming weeks. But then I want to share with you, too, that I have a new series that's coming out

with Good Catholic, and it's going to be focused on Mary's joy. It's a video series and I'll be able to share more

we can learn from that example. So continuing to dive deeper. So if you enjoyed a heart like

Mary's retreat or if you missed it and you are interested in that kind of content, stay tuned.

I've got some more coming for you where we're going to be sharing in a video series,
