She has fast become well known in the addiction & recovery communities.

Her mission is to spread HOPE to others looking to recover and warn that suicide is not an option or answer for someone with a gambling addiction.
"I'm just a regular woman who wanted to share my personal story about a very big addiction." NO, I am not rich, famous, or a reality star, I just wanted to share what I've been through so others can have more understanding of problem & addicted gambling, and how devastating and cunning this disease is as it devastates your life and how you can recover!"
"Gambling addiction is the hush, hush addiction no one talks about. That now needs to change when 2.9% of our population are problem gamblers thanks to the expansion of Indian casinos and state lotteries in the US. GAMBLING ADDICTION IS currently the highest 'Suicide Rate' than any other addiction."

The Wizard of La La Land: Harvey Weinstein and Other Narcissists Oct 20, 2017

Show notes

How many of you have felt triggered reading and hearing about the Harvey Weinstein allegations? Many of our listeners have. We have. We support the #metoo movement spearheaded by actress Alyssa Milano and have a very powerful discussion about sexual misconduct and abuse.
We've learned that while the abuser and society may wish to paint those who come forward as people who:
Can't seem to "move on" or "let things go"
Are vitriolic
Are unfair
Are "crazy"
Are only women
This is simply not the case. Uncomfortable topics need to be discussed. Every victim and then survivor of sexual harassment has their own journey to recovery. As you evolve, your voice and understanding of what you experienced changes. It does not disappear.
Being quiet supports the abuser not the abused. It also supports those who enable and act as accomplices to the abusers.
This is not gender specific.
The days of "men are just men" are over.
For Good.
Thank you for joining us on this poignant and deeply personal show.
