Wolf Wisdom for Recovery
A gentle, shame-free guide to healing
addiction — through the wisdom of wolves, the calm of nature, and the part of
you that’s been waiting to come home.
Brokenness is a Lie
What if addiction wasn’t a personal
failure — but a sacred message?
A signal from your soul that something
inside you is hurting… that you need comfort, safety, connection.
This book meets you there — without
judgment. Without pressure. Without shame.
Because the truth is: something inside you was never broken. You’ve just been carrying around a story that was never yours to begin with.
Wolf Wisdom for Recovery is your invitation to finally set that story down — and come home to yourself.
I Wrote the Book I Needed When I Was Hurting.
I know what it feels like to carry shame like a second skin. To think recovery is about willpower, perfection, or pretending everything’s okay. But healing doesn’t happen through force. It happens through compassion.
My healing came in many forms and formulas, but in the eyes of wolves, I saw myself, my true self for the first time.
in their calm, ancient presence, something shifted. I remembered who I was. My husband Paul introduced me to Shadow, our namesake. She put her forehead to mine and made me part of their pack. Wolf assisted therapy has helped him attain 25 years of sobriety from drugs and alcohol. Together, as a couple, we co-founded Shadowland Foundation where we offer wolf education and healing programs. But I found a home and a family; all a daily reminder of who I truly am and was meant to be.
Now, we help others remember too.
This book is the path I wish I had. A soft place to land. A guide for when you're tired of feeling isolated. Someone once called me “A walking open
wound.” It hurt to hear it, but it hurt me in a good way. He was a friend, someone I admired. He loved me enough to speak the truth. He saw me. I was not invisible anymore. I never was.
Neither are you. You never were.
