In this episode, Nicole talks to Avis Cardella: writer, author and recovering shopping addict. Avis describes how she fell into the downward spiral of daily shopping, and more importantly: how consumerism had become a coping mechanism. Forget the movies— this is a raw picture of what shopping addiction really looks like.
