Un-Addiction with Nzinga Harrison, MD
Health & Fitness:Mental Health
Joseph Green and Dr. Nzinga Harrison have a powerfully intimate conversation about what it means to be poetically minded, and how Joseph's mission to teach young people how to find the tools they can lean on during hard times began. In this episode, Joseph reframes sobriety and recovery as only pieces to the larger picture of life, describing the kind of world Joseph would like to see and how he's helping his children build it.
