But words are important because they have the power to hurt and they have the power to heal.
Ever been asked 'How are you?' and found yourself at a loss for words?

Hosted by Richard Woodward, this episode brings together real stories from people who have battled addiction and are now learning to articulate their feelings in a healthier way. The discussion kicks off with the common fear of being misunderstood.

It's a candid look at the emotional rollercoaster that is recovery. But it's not all heavy.

Each topic is explored with a mix of humor and honesty, making it relatable and engaging. The guests emphasize the importance of honesty and vulnerability, and how these qualities can be transformative in the journey to sobriety. By the end of the episode, listeners are reminded of the power of words—not just in communicating with others, but in understanding and accepting themselves.
