The Reality of Addiction

The Reality of Addiction

In this episode, I am joined by my friend Carson Thorpe!

Carson bravely shares her experience with addiction & substance abuse of prescribed drugs. Throughout the episode, I am repeatedly and consistently astounded by her honesty and authenticity as she reflects on all of her feelings surrounding her struggle with addiction.

We cover so many topics under the general umbrella of addiction, so there is something for everyone in this episode.

Some things we discuss include the harm of stereotyping, the experience of hitting rock bottom, mental health first aid, college's effect on addictive behavior, the isolation of struggling with addiction as a young person, and why reaching out for help is the bravest thing any of us can do.

What I can promise from this episode is a unique perspective that will offer you the chance to elongate your spectrum of empathy.

Let's Dive in!
