Join me, Jason LaChance, host of the @KnockinDoorzDown podcast and certified addiction recovery coach, and mental health advocate for my sit down with Addiction Expert, TEDx Speaker, and Mindset Coach Jo Weatherford.
In her 20s, Jo Weatherford was a drug-and alcohol-addicted model, partying with celebrities in Hollywood. After an arrest and failed suicide attempt, she knew it was time to get clean. Jo returned to school to get her master's degree in Human Development and spent the next 12 years teaching courses on addiction at the University of Nevada. Jo is a renowned TEDx speaker, addressing the root causes of addiction through non-traditional approaches to recovery.
Jo has been a professional motivational speaker for over a decade. She has been a keynote speaker at numerous Universities and High Schools around the United States. She has also led addiction-related training programs for Court Officials, Higher Education Professionals, County Offices, Fitness and Wellness CEOs, and Non-Profits.
Jo Weatherford and I discuss the following and more.

I suck at self-regulating with my phone 12:30
Why do we use? 20:00
Jails, institutions, or death 36:00
