Debbie Harrell and her guests are challenging listeners to rethink their current routines & habits, their "shoulds & have-tos" and live more aligned with their passions and purpose. We are sharing stories of individuals who are making impactful changes in the world around them, working to create a more healthy, holistic, and inclusive future. We believe that the power to create social, environmental, and racial change lies with the collective, and we hope to inspire our listeners to make positive shifts in their own lives that will then ripple out and create positive change in the world.

Addiction is hard to approach in a discussion. Many of us have been in a situation where a conversation turns towards the topic and our instinct is panic. We might change the subject, we might nod politely, but we usually aren’t ready for this talk. The Normal we’ll be focusing on today is arguably as destructive as addiction itself: Shame. Our guest, Brianne Davis, shares her story and discusses what she’s been doing to combat the stigma.

Brianne Davis is well-known for her illustrious Hollywood career, but she’ll be speaking to us in a different capacity today. In recovery for the last 12 years, Brianne has written a book about her experience, started a podcast, and works as a sober coach. She reflects with us on the destructive power of shame. What keeps us and our loved ones from reaching out when it’s most needed? More importantly, what can we do about it?

Topics covered:

Brianne is candid with us about her personal experiences and shares her recovery process
Why is it so hard for addicts to reach out?
Stifling vs sharing our struggles
Turning our struggles into strategies
