RECOVERING with Christopher French

In Part 2 of French's conversation with Christina Perri, Christina opens up about the tools and experiences that helped her begin working through anxiety and depression and why recovery isn’t a quick fix. She shares how committing to that work helped her return to the recording studio and transform some of her darkest experiences into music, while Christopher and Christina explore the power of humor, creativity, community, and simply knowing you’re not alone.

French sits down with mental health and sobriety advocate and actor Jay Laisne for a deeply honest conversation about addiction, the paths that can lead us down the wrong road, and the possibility of redemption. Jay opens up about his own journey, raising children who have struggled with drugs and alcohol, and the ways our past can shape the people we become. It’s a candid conversation about breaking cycles, finding forgiveness, and believing that no matter how far someone has fallen, there is always a way forward.
