About this listen

Zen Mama & The Addict* was started by mother and daughter, Mary and Kate Streeter, as an open discussion about the impact of addiction on their family. Honest and raw conversations about topics like rehab and recovery, dishonesty and fear to trust, love vs enabling, the courage to set loving boundaries, are the foundation for the podcast.

After Kate's incarceration the podcast transitioned into Zen Mama and Everyday Gurus, a platform to share stories of struggle, resiliency, and hope. We hold space for honest conversation of how Everyday Gurus, people just like you, are finding meaning and purpose in life. "Everyday people" finding what lights them up inside, despite challenges ~ or maybe because of them. We invite you to join us as we talk to the wise who walk among us!

After a 3-year hiatus we are relaunching Zen Mama and The Addict! We will continue to share our story; each of our perspectives on incarceration, recovery and healing-along with inviting guests to share their recovery journeys along with the stories of those that have walked beside them. Normalizing addiction, sharing tools-and how to use them- to navigate this hard but beautiful journey of being human.

​

Join us, be inspired by these real, raw and relevant conversations that are full of wisdom, hope and joy.

  • Nuerodiversity Advocate, Change Catalyst and Social Justice Warrior, Jo Clancy

    Nuerodiversity Advocate, Change Catalyst and Social Justice Warrior, Jo Clancy
    Jun 20 2024

    On this week's podcast we welcome Jo Clancy. Discovering her neurodiversity with a diagnosis of ADHD in her early 30's, Jo shares her experience of life before and after a diagnosis. She takes us on a journey of her life starting with her many interests; photography, post-carding, traveling, global health work in multiple countries , and so much more. Here energy seems infinite along with her determination to leave the world a better place.
    Below is a statement from Jo...

    I have had a broad background of careers and interests (ADHD for the win!), working in the Insurance industry, restaurant (front of the house and back), animal industry (ranch manager, horse trainer, zookeeper, exotic animal vet tech), and currently ultrasound. I originally went to college for graphic design and still get a lot of joy from artistic hobbies (photography especially), and later went to veterinary school, with a focus in exotics and wildlife. I used to scuba, rock climb, trail run, ride horses, and now ride a motorcycle, garden, knit, travel and make postcards from my photographs, which I send all over the world in a group called Post crossing. I have volunteered in some capacity for most of my life, giving my mom credit for that passion. I worked as a volunteer for therapeutic riding programs, wildlife rehabilitation, sea turtle conservation, raising money for scholarships at the MSU Wine Festival, and many more.

    Looking back at this I can see why I drove my somewhat conventional parents mad! 🙂
