Today my guest is Sharon Fekete, The Doctor Whisperer. She’s an author and podcast host of The Broken Road to Mental Health. Sharon was sooo much fun to talk to! She got sober the same year I did and we’re both obsessed with sharing resources that help ease unnecessary suffering. I just loved meeting her!    We cover a lot of ground on this episode including her story of addiction, depression and suicide attempts and the moment of clarity that lead to recovery. We also talk about the problems with our healthcare system and how challenging it can be to get the right support.

So without further ado, please enjoy this episode with Sharon.   Connect with Sharon! Linktree: https://linktr.ee/sharonfekete   Watch on YouTube: ​​https://www.youtube....
