Summary
NBA player Chris Herren was spending $20,000 a month on Oxycontin, which then turned to heroin. Overdoses, car crashes and hospitalizations couldn’t keep him from destroying his career, his family, his entire life. Now fourteen years sober, Chris travels the country speaking to middle school and high school students about the dangers of drug addiction, and parents about what actually works to keep their kids from falling prey to the lure of substance abuse.
P.S. May is Mental Health Awareness Month and we're ending Season 3 with an "ASK KIMI ANYTHING" episode.
You can ask Kimi anything about her experience with bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder (or anything else for that matter) and she'll tell you the truth “on air.” Why, because we believe that when we tell our truth, we create awareness and contribute to healing.
Call us at 833-326-8623 and leave Kimi a voicemail by May 4th!

| 0:53.7 | It's about keeping |
| 0:54.4 | everything secure. Before we get started with today's episode, I want to tell you about something |
| 1:01.5 | we have coming up on the show. We are close to wrapping season three of all the wiser and |
| 1:09.9 | taking a short break for the summer. We are also very |
| 1:15.8 | close to May, which happens to be Mental Health Awareness Month. If you listen to this podcast, |
| 1:23.4 | you know that I live with a mental illness called bipolar disorder. |
| 1:30.1 | You also, if you have listened, probably know by now that it is something I hid for over |
| 1:36.4 | two decades because I was deeply, deeply ashamed and embarrassed. |
| 1:42.3 | I shared it for the first time on this podcast almost three |
| 1:46.6 | years ago and it has frankly gotten better ever since because it allowed me to release the weight |
| 1:57.0 | of shame and secrecy, which is officially no fun to carry around. That said, |
| 2:04.5 | sharing my story and all of the nuances and intricacies and other pieces of it is a process. |
| 2:14.4 | There are still pieces of it that are difficult to talk to, but I do believe that in |
| 2:19.8 | being fully honest, it allows you to be fully seen and heard. And in turn, that provides comfort |
| 2:27.7 | to others. I think it allows people to feel less alone in their own mental health journeys. |
