My name is Spencer and I'm your host today.

Carrie who has been a guest on the recovery show in the past, suggested this talk by Carrie Kay, which is a different carry and spelled differently too. She writes, hi Spencer, hope this finds you well.

I wanted to share one of my favorite speaker talks in case you're interested. Such an

incredible story, chalkful of life experience, wisdom, humor, and hope.

I've listened to it several times over the years.

Makes me want to go hike in Phoenix and get a teddy bear to pass around.

Smiley face, best Carrie. If you want to know what she means by taking a hike in Phoenix and getting a teddy bear, I think you're going to have to listen. Here's Carrie Kay.

Good morning everybody. I'm a grateful palan, my name is Carrie.
