On this episode, I speak with Maureen Towns BScN, MA is a relationship mentor with over 25 years of nursing experience in both public and private health care across Canada.
After experiencing mental illness and addiction with her own children, she
founded Maureen Towns Consulting to help families struggling to care for
their own loved ones. Her work with parents inspires them to rediscover
themselves within chaotic and challenging situations.
After growing up in an abusive, alcoholic home and raising her children
through their mental health issues, Maureen discovered a more authentic
way of living after learning resilience, detachment, self-care, and com-
munication. In the years following her family’s challenges, Maureen has
camped on a beach in Thailand, slept under the stars on a remote Phil-
ippine Island, sailed and snorkeled in the Andaman Sea, became a dive
master in Roatan and dove with sharks in the Red Sea.
Born in Ontario, Maureen currently resides in Calgary, Alberta. She can
most often be found hiking in the Rocky Mountains, doing CrossFit with
her son, Sam, biking with her son, Ben, and granddaughter, Athena, or
just hanging out with her daughters, Sydney and Ally.
Maureen hosts the Broken Open Podcast.
