Sorry for the delay! In this episode, Michi & Scott are catching up after a couple of months. Our discussion focuses on our personal experience with self-care and mental wellness. Scott talks about a recent medical procedure and how to be responsible as a recovering addict when it comes to the prescribing of pain medications. We also share some thoughts on the recent Supreme Court decision involving Roe V Wade.
