Episode 21 - "LET IT HAPPEN: Addiction Re-Envisioned"

This episode features Jaymee's best recorded advice on the subject of addiction, mental health, recovery and treatment, and how to carve out an unconventional path of sobriety utilizing abstinence and emotional intelligence. You'll hear some of the most beautiful things ever said on planet Earth about addicts, and how they are truly saints, mislabeled by the collective. The talk is a conversation between Jaymee and his student Alex K, who originally met as rehab owner and patient in 2019 at the addiction and mental health center Jaymee co-founded and formerly operated in Santa Barbara. The discussion that follows between them is one of the most informative resources on the the above subjects, as Alex K generously shares his unique story of the destruction that led him to seek treatment, and eventually to co-creating a new path forward of recovery with Jaymee; one absent of labels, diagnosis, or any idea of not being enough. OPENING SONG: "Let It Happen" from the new album COMETA by Nick Hakim (2022) LOVE IS THE AUTHOR: produced, edited, and hosted by Jaymee Carpenter.
