What does life look like after an unimaginable loss? In this deeply moving episode, Ann Robson talks about life after the suicide of her 17-year-old son, Beckett, and how love, community, and purpose have shaped her family’s path forward. Following Beckett’s death in 2018, Ann and her husband, Paul, founded The Beckett Project to open conversations about mental health, challenge stigma around suicide, and support local initiatives that reflect Beckett’s passions. That commitment has grown into Beck’s Haven, a supportive bereavement community rooted in the truth that grief does not erase joy, and joy does not diminish grief.

In the season finale, Jay MacDonald speaks with Brian Webster, a social worker whose work spans justice services, youth diversion, employee assistance counselling, and addiction support. Brian breaks down what addiction looks like in real life, emphasizing that it’s not simply about willpower or “just stopping,” but about understanding the underlying drivers and building a practical recovery plan.

They talk about how the holidays can amplify pressures and risks, especially through social norms around alcohol and the expectation to participate. Brian shares concrete, realistic strategies for staying well, including setting clear limits, planning ahead, making safer choices in higher-risk settings, and leaning on peer and friend support in ways that don’t revolve around drinking. He also challenges all-or-nothing thinking, encourages small steps as the foundation for lasting change, and reframes “starting fresh” as something you can do at any moment, not just on January 1.
