In this episode, we are joined by the remarkable Dr. Samantha Harte, who recently authored Breaking the Circuit, a book that reimagines the traditional 12-step recovery program. Dr. Harte shares her deeply personal journey, growing up in a tumultuous household with addiction and emotional absence, and her own struggles with substance abuse, including a shocking cocaine overdose the day she was accepted into med school. Dr. Harte also opens up about her marriage, which survived infidelity and emotional turmoil, leading to a powerful reconciliation and a happy family life.
