Michelle Hillier was well into her Forties when she realized that she was running away. Not facing up to her fears and traumas, she was drinking heavily to numb and suppress unwanted feelings. She eventually hit a wall, hiding booze from friends and family and hitting rock bottom. She had an epiphany, and realized she last felt like her real self over twenty years ago, and so embarked on a journey to rediscover her authenticity. Our co-host Luke Colson has been on a similar path and we discuss the reasons why people self medicate, and how we can find the strength to get back to basics, face out fears, and start to feel alive again.
