Join us on "Beauty & Resilience: A Conversation with Jo Weatherford," where we dive deep into the intersection of personal struggles and societal expectations. 🌟 In this enlightening episode, our host Bruce Anthony sits down with the remarkable Jo Weatherford, a therapist, former model, and TedEx speaker, who shares her raw and powerful journey from battling addiction to finding her true calling in helping others navigate their paths to recovery. This conversation isn't just about the challenges; it's about the triumphs, the moments of clarity, and the incredible resilience of the human spirit. 🌈

Bruce guides this conversation with the grace and curiosity you've come to expect, exploring Jo's upbringing with high-functioning alcoholic parents moving to her modeling career and transitioning down Jo's path of seeking external validation. As we unravel Jo's story, we touch on the brutal realities of the modeling industry, the golden era of Playboy, and how addiction can both shield and expose our deepest vulnerabilities.

But this episode is more than just a personal narrative; it's a beacon of hope for anyone feeling lost in their struggles. Jo's transition from the depths of addiction to becoming a beacon of support for others is a testament to the power of self-compassion and the importance of seeking help. Her work in advocating for treatment over punitive measures for addiction shines a light on the broader societal changes we must embrace.

For all our parents listening, a gentle reminder that this episode contains mature themes and language. But it's these candid discussions that pave the way for understanding, empathy, and change.

If Jo's story resonates with you or if you're looking for a sign to take that first step towards healing, let this be it. 🕊️
