Episode description

In this episode, I'm delving into the complex relationship between grief and vices. When faced with grief and death, many of us (me included) turn to habits or substances like alcohol, drugs, food, shopping, or sex as a way to cope. But when do these behaviours and acts cross the line from being a comfort to a crutch?


This episode is categorically not here to shame, judge or even endorse. It's here to highlight the various ways we cope and show that we are all just trying to figure some big stuff out and deserve support and compassion in doing so.

Big love,
