Episode Description: Life can be really hard sometimes. It can be filled with hardship, pain and even death. For so many of us, we use things like binge eating, online shopping or pornography as a way to coup with our feelings. In this episode, we talk through dealing with grief, high stress situations and how we medicate ourselves for the good or for the bad. Discipline is so important for us in walking through these hard times.
Episode Insights:
It's so important for you know that it's OK to grieve. You need to grieve how you need grieve.
