TW: drug use, opioid addiction

I interview content marketer and copywriter Jessica Bruno, who talks about developing an opioid addiction as a result of pain management of her illness going out of control. These drugs quickly became a crutch and made her feel vacant and desensitised to anything difficult happening in her life, but the numbness also prevented from truly knowing herself and finding a true connection within her relationships. As someone who has dealt with a similar struggle after quitting drinking, I have found this topic really relatable, and I greatly enjoyed our conversation even though it was not in person.
