“We would rather spend two hours talking to you today than two hours attending your funeral tomorrow.” – Jay Shifman
Today’s bonus featured author episode for the holidays is fellow podcast host, advocate, Mental Health and Substance Misuse & Recovery Speaker, Jay Shifman. Jay and I talk about recovery, suicide, and the necessity of empathy.
Key Things You’ll Learn:
What helped Jay to make the leap to recover from Drug use and speak boldly about it.
Why people don’t seek help when they’re addicted to something.
Why bravery is more than just speaking about an issue.
