The Better Than Rich Show Overcoming Addiction with Jesse Harless | The Better Than Rich Show Ep. 46
Although we may not openly identify as "addicts," everybody is in some way addicted to something. It could be food, drugs, social media, or destructive habits; it doesn't matter. All that matters is that it's detrimental to your well-being.
If you're struggling with some form of addiction, you must understand that addiction rarely exists in a vacuum. In most cases, it occurs alongside trauma. This is why all addicts must first deal with their trauma before seeking help for their addictions.
In today's episode, Andrew and Mike talk to Jesse Harless, an expert in addiction recovery and a leader in trauma-informed healing. His mission is to help ambitious heart-centered leaders and purpose-driven organizations clear obstacles out of their path and live in alignment with their highest potential.
