Amy Liz Harrison: Finding Light in the Darkest Moments

Imagine juggling the demands of motherhood with the weight of addiction. In this episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', Duane Osterlind sits down with Amy Liz Harrison, author and host of the 'Eternally Amy' podcast.

With support and accountability, she embraced her imperfections and learned to navigate the ups and downs of sobriety.
