In this chat, I sit down with Dr. Lisa Lewis - A licensed psychologist and addictions counselor to talk about understanding addiction in high-performers. Addiction is something many people don't associate with high-performing, functional individuals in society, but can often be present. This is one eye-opening episode. Enjoy!
