Ep 304: Drug Addiction + Healing with Laura Cathcart Robbins
We are going to talk about drug addiction today. Even if you don't struggle with addiction yourself, I want you to listen to this conversation. It is vulnerable, eye-opening, and encouraging on so many levels.\xa0
Laura Cathcart Robbins is the host of the popular podcast, The Only One In The Room, and author of her memoir, STASH. When she needed help most, she couldn't find herself in the stories and books on shelves. So, she wrote her memoir to speak out, become part of the solution, and give other women who are struggling with addiction, a place to find hope and encouragement.\xa0
Laura's beautiful book is about her journey parting from her authentic self, struggling with addiction, and coming back to her authentic self. It is raw, vulnerable, and deeply encouraging on so many levels. Go grab this book! I know you will enjoy it (especially after you hear from her in this conversation).\xa0
