TW: abusive relationships, addiction, substance use, grief, mentions of animal death

In this episode, I interviewed Holly Lang, one of my old school besties. We decided to focus on toxic relationship addiction rather than a particular substance. We talk about how our own trauma growing up has dictated our relationships as adults. We discuss what addiction means to us individually and how these toxic behavioural patterns can be difficult to break. We also focus on how vital it is to be self-aware and how learning how to self-care, is now part of our mental health routines.
