Nutrition is vital to mental health, and I have to tell y'all I've never felt better since I started taking

AG1 from athletic greens. I've started taking AG1 because I wanted to try something more convenient and easier on my stomach than taking

handfuls of supplements. So what is this stuff? With one delicious scoop of AG1, you're absorbing 75 high-quality vitamins,

minerals, whole food sourced ingredients, probiotics, and adaptogens to start your day right. This special blend of

Hello, welcome to emotional bad ass where Moxie meets mindful. I'm your host, Nikki Eisenhower, Life Coach and Psychotherapist.

And on today's episode, I'm sitting down with Eric Zimmer from the One You Feed Podcast where we discuss addiction, growth, and recovery.

I probably needed to be parented in a more sensitive way than I was. So I don't think they were abusive. My dad, you might say, was a little abusive in the yelling.

But for whatever reason, by the time I was like 10, I was a kleptomaniac. So I was not doing well from a very early age.

So I was acting out very early on in very extreme ways all through my teenage years and all the way up until I jumped with both feet into the pool of addiction.

I am here with Eric Zimmer. Thank you for coming on the show.

Thank you so much for having me. I am happy to be here.

You have quite the story and I have been excited to have this opportunity to interview you for a long time.

You are host of the One You Feed. And that is a reading that has been very special to my heart for many, many, many years as a new little green baby therapist in New Orleans.

I was teaching an addiction recovery group with that reading. And so I was looking for that reading one day and your podcast popped up.

And that is how I originally found you years ago. So I am really happy. It feels full circle for me in a lot of ways to bring in someone that loves that reading the way that I do.

Would you share that reading with the listeners?

Sure. It is an old parable. We don't really know where it comes from. Some people attribute it to Native Americans. Other people say that is not what it is.
