Trigger alert: The following content includes discussion of addiction, substance abuse, eating disorders and other behavioural disorders. If you or someone close to you is struggling with addiction, please find support. We will include some helpful resources in our notes.
Addiction is a scourge on our society, an epidemic in its own right.
Addiction can manifest in different ways, whether it is an unhealthy relationship with substances or a harmful dependence on a set of behaviours. No matter how addiction presents, the underlying triggers and causes can be remarkably similar.
In this episode, Jess Phillips, personal coach and brilliant host of the podcast Living Out Loud explores this topic with us more deeply, sharing her own story of addiction and her path to recovery.
It is time we move far beyond shame and judgement towards healing, recovery and support for those afflicted. We hope you will listen in to this very important and relevant conversation.
