Jo Weatherford: Losing Myself at Eleven | The Hopeaholics Podcast


In this episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, Jo Weatherford shares her inspiring journey from addiction to recovery. She opens up about how her feelings of emptiness began at the age of 11, which may have led her down a path of addiction. Once trapped in the Hollywood party scene, Jo overcame her struggles with drugs and alcohol and now dedicates her life to helping others break free from addiction.


Jo also talks about her involvement with Schick Shadle, a treatment center that uses aversion therapy to treat addiction. Schick Shadle’s approach helps patients associate negative experiences with their addictive behaviors, which was instrumental in Jo’s own recovery. In her TEDx talk, "Rewriting the Story of My Addiction," Jo emphasizes the importance of shifting the narrative around addiction, facing emotional pain, and learning to love oneself sober.


Tune in to hear Jo’s powerful reflections on the root causes of addiction, the unique therapies that helped her, and how she found freedom by rewriting her own story. This episode is a profound exploration of healing and resilience.
