In today's podcast Tonya talks with Billie Lynn Hillis, director and cofounder of Gaia Wellness. In this episode Tonya & Billie Lynn leave nothing on the table with an honest, raw, open talk about addictions, what it looks like to heal addictions in a world that celebrates drug and alcohol use, what it means to have to walk away from friends, family, and even your community. Talking about early childhood trauma, growing up in alcohol and drug fuelled homes, the importance of our networks and the cost of going home again...
If you've ever struggled with toxic family members, experienced addictions, eating disorders or drug and alcohol dependancy, this podcast is for you.
