So you know, my motto is: don't be normal, be you, and it's the motto that I've lived by and it's the motto that I share with people in my live events and everything else that I'm doing: great, well, thank you very much.
Imagine being told from birth what your future should look like. Dr. Reef Karim knows this feeling all too well. Raised in a strict Indian family, his path seemed predetermined. But Dr. Karim, now a renowned psychiatrist, international speaker, writer, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, chose to break free from those confines. In this episode of 'Families Navigating Addiction & Recovery', he sits down with Jeff Jones to share his journey of self-expression and authenticity. Dr.
Karim dives into the immigrant mentality, the role of differentiation, and how to detach from societal expectations to find your true self. He emphasizes the power of creativity in addiction recovery and the necessity for families to heal together rather than singling out one member as the 'identified patient'. Through personal anecdotes and professional insights, Dr. Karim offers practical advice for anyone grappling with addiction, mental health issues, or family dynamics.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of identity, ambition, and the courage to forge your own path.
