In this episode, I discuss grief and addiction with one of my lifelong friends, @doreesimon. I admire Doree in so many ways-- to the point to where it is hard to put into words. She is so brave, so talented, so compassionate and empathetic. She has been through something impossible and speaks about it with such passion, grace and kindness. Doree lost her brother, Kevin, almost 3 years ago to addiction. She is grieving and she is going through the process and educating herself and using her talents and courage to further the conversation around addiction. I am so proud to know her and I hope you get as much out of this conversation as I did.

I would like to dedicate this episode to Kevin Simon-- a beautiful soul, who is so missed by all of the people lucky enough to know him.

"Grief is like the ocean; it comes in waves, ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim."

Our mission is simple-to create a less judgmental, more accepting world and to end the stigma around mental illness.
