Life Unscripted - Stories of Mental Health and Addiction
Shame and fear often stop people who really need support for their mental illness and/or addiction (substance use) from reaching out.
In more than 200 interviews, Life Unscripted host Janice Arnoldi has honest and engaging conversations with people who share their stories of lived experience. The interviews are literally "unscripted" and flow naturally. Janice often finds common experiences and shares her personal journey with guests.
Experts also come on the podcast to talk about solutions.
Janice's goal has been to life the mystery and to reduce stigma by increasing public awareness.
