| 0:00.0 | This is Hello Freedom and I'm your host Terry Cole. |
| 0:09.8 | For almost two decades I've been a licensed psychotherapist and transformation coach and on this show I will bring you simple strategies based on practical psychology, inspiring expert interviews, and my own insights and observations from my time on the front lines of the fascinating |
| 0:25.5 | worlds of entertainment, impairment, and mental health. |
| 0:29.0 | Now let's get going with today's episode. Well, hello, Freedom Fighters. I'm so happy you're hanging out with me today. I have a super special guest interview and I know I say that every week because really I'm not just saying it all these people are |
| 0:50.0 | awesome and experts in their own right. I'm probably overusing the word |
| 0:54.7 | awesome so we're going to try to stop that. I think I need a Thosaurus. Anyway, my |

| 1:07.0 | but she's so much more than that. Her name is Elena Brower. And we became friends through mutual friends because we both love yoga, but the |

| 1:41.4 | And she basically had just come out with it that day and she did this beautiful spoken word piece about being addicted to weed and about what I call a shadow addiction. |
| 1:54.0 | So we talk quite extensively about this in the interview |
| 1:57.1 | where I know you guys know people who have shadow |
| 2:01.4 | addictions and maybe you have them too, where you are addicted because |
| 2:06.2 | you can't really stop doing whatever that behavior is, but you're still super high functioning. |
| 2:14.0 | And so this is the background for me personally that I came from |
| 2:18.0 | where my father definitely had a drinking problem. |
| 2:22.0 | I always say was a high-functioning alcoholic but never missed a day of work in 30-something years. |
| 2:28.0 | Retired at 51 did very well. |
