Untangling Addiction: Spirituality and Purpose with Missy Pollack
We become spiritually malnourished believing we have found peace, prosperity, and fulfillment in the very thing that will rob us of it.
What if the very thing you think brings you peace is actually stealing it from you? In this episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', Valeria Teles chats with Missy Pollack from the American Addiction Centers. Missy, an Alumni Coordinator at Recovery First Treatment Center, shares her experiences and insights on the complex web of addiction, spirituality, and finding true purpose.

Missy’s role involves supporting graduates of treatment centers and organizing community events that promote awareness and recovery. This episode offers a heartfelt discussion on the spiritual malnutrition caused by addiction and the journey to reclaiming genuine peace and purpose. It's an essential listen for anyone affected by addiction or supporting someone who is.
