Episode description
How are you doing? No, seriously, how have you been doing lately?
It seems, to me, that a lot of people are struggling, or unhappy, or just plain having a rough time.
I had a client ask me recently, "Is anyone out there REALLY happy these days?" My initial reaction was, "Well.... yeah."But some days I really wonder. Last week was a rough one for that - wondering about people's happiness and overall wellbeing. The Addiction Bug definitely struck hard in my office.
And, that really seemed to effect me. So I talked about it through the podcast. I think it was a bit of a meandering - but hopefully there is some sense in it. And, hopefully, you find something meaningful in listening.
Footnote: the gentleman who went into treatment in California that I discuss here - I received the most heartwarming voicemail expressing his appreciation for our work together. It was really beautiful. I think it restored my faith in what we do, just a little.
