12 | Sharon Hersh: Change is Seldom Spectacular

We’re really excited to welcome a guest who has been really helpful and influential in our lives, even though we’d never met before the podcast interview. Sharon Hersh is a therapist and author, whose book The Last Addiction: Why Self-Help is Not Enough was one of the first ones Stacey read when our lives changed in 2009.

In addition to being a therapist, author, and college professor, Sharon is also a recovering alcoholic. She has openly shared her story of addiction, recovery, and lessons learned about connection vs. isolation.

The conversation we had is NOT just for people with addictions. It’s also for those who love people with addictions. It’s for people who desire escape from and control over life’s painful realities. In other words, it’s for all of us.

Sharon is the author of several other books and a sought-after speaker. See the links below for her other resources and social media presence.
