In this episode, Terri is joined by TFM's Jamie Cipriani to discuss a book they both found powerful. They discuss This Naked Mind by Annie Grace in which she shares her own break from her problematic relationship with alcohol and how others can change this aspect of their lives.

Jamie and Terri discuss how this may resonate for you if alcohol is interfering with your journey, and also dig into the parallel of addictive foods and how we may struggle in deciding whether to let them go.
