 Today we had the honor of hosting our 12th Women’s Luncheon. The conversation was led by Elizabeth Fikes about intentionality and practicing what you preach. It was inspiring to witness such engaging discussions, as attendees shared their own experiences and insights on how to embody intentionality in their daily lives. Thank you to Nichole Daniello, our executive chef for the provided such a beautiful and nutritious meal for the women leading this field.  If you would like to participate in the next luncheon, please email Scott@releaserecovery.com Carly Hirschberg Nancy Koplow, LCSW Meghan Bresnahan Emma Trokel, RCP, CAI Lauren Famila Christine Ryan Sabrina Greco, LMSW Victoria Cavaliere, MA, MHC-LP Elizabeth Fikes Irina K.

Our Founder and CEO Zac C. spoke with Niobe Way, an internationally renowned Professor of Developmental Psychology at NYU, on this week's episode of The Zac Clark Show. She is a leading expert on what she calls the “crisis of connection” affecting boys and men in the U.S. and beyond. Dr. Way draws from over 40 years of research on social and emotional development, exploring how cultural ideologies shape child development and family dynamics. Anyone who has a young man or boy in their life should give this episode a listen. How to Listen: https://lnkd.in/ez7rvnyJ https://lnkd.in/eD2DWa3P Watch here: https://lnkd.in/e2u7s9gv

Yesterday, we had the honor of hosting our 11th Women’s Luncheon. We believe our field must continue to grow and evolve, and that starts with more female leadership. The incredible women who joined us are a shining example of the strong leaders making a difference in our industry. A special thank you to Amanda Thomas, MPhEd, LMFT for leading our discussion on a crucial topic: burnout and how to unlock the female stress cycle. Your insights and guidance sparked meaningful conversations that will help us all thrive. Together, we’re not just talking about change; we’re driving it.

This week on The Zac Clark Show, I reflect on my 13 years sobriety anniversary and the theme of letting go. This time of year brings heavy feelings, remembering my last days estranged from my family, running around the streets using drugs. I emphasize the importance of sharing sobriety stories to inspire people beginning their sober journey and addresses a key aspect about recovery: unlike traditional illnesses, those most qualified to help people struggling with addiction have lived through it themselves. Special Shout-outs in this weeks episode: Lane Kiffin, the Ole Miss Football Coach, for his candidness about alcoholism and the freedoms gained through sobriety. Travis Manion Foundation, which empowers veterans and families to instill values in future generations. Join in and listen to this poignant episode about leaning in and letting go. https://lnkd.in/eKxG45_p https://lnkd.in/eDuhbYAT https://lnkd.in/eQ9zPSnw
