Welcome everybody to this week's episode of The Lindsay Elmore Show.

This week we are talking about how mental health plays into the adoption of addictions, even at very, very young ages, and that the weight of addiction can carry you for years and be a burden on you for years until

something happens that makes you make a change. First up, I'll be talking with Aaron Carr.

She is the author of Strung Out, One Last Hit and other lies that nearly killed me.

After that, I will be sharing with you one of my favorite mental health practices, the

practice of yoga.

We will be talking about how yoga actually changes your brain and the way that you process your nerves, your fears, your emotions,

and helps you to stay centered. Welcome to the Lindsay Almore show, a podcast that helps

you find fulfillment amidst chaos. On this show, I interview thought leaders, doctors, creatives,

spiritual gurus, and game changers who

inspire you to pursue your dreams, overcome obstacles, and leave your mark.

Erin Carr is known for her writing on addiction, recovery, mental health, relationships,

parenting, infertility, and self-care. Her weekly advice column, Ask Aaron, is published on

Ravishly. Her personal essays have appeared in national publications, including Self, Marie

Claire, Huff Post, Esquire, Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, and many,

many others. She is the recipient of the Eric Hoffer Editor's Choice Prize, and her prize-winning

essay was featured in Best New Writings of 2012. Her essays have been published in the Stigma Fighters

Anthology and Burn it down, women

writing about anger. Her debut memoir strung out. One last hit and other lies that nearly

killed me has appeared on most anticipated lists from The Rumpus, Self, Apple Books, Bitch Media, Alma, and others.

She lives here in New York City, and I wish that she could be here in the studio,

but as we are all staying home these days, we're recording this on March the 26th.
