Challenging Positive Thinking: Vicky Midwood on Addiction and Self-Care
“The point of positivity is that it allows us to see that perhaps there is a different option, and this is where belief comes in, because all that's required is for you to believe that just possibly, maybe there might be a chance that you can do things differently, and hanging on to that- just possibly maybe- was what allowed me to get through some of the darkest times in my life.”
Ever thought that positive thinking alone could solve all your problems? Vicky Midwood, also known as The Addiction Eliminator, is here to tell you otherwise. In this eye-opening episode of 'RAW CHATTER!', Vicky shares her personal journey through addiction and bulimia, shedding light on why positive thinking isn't always the magic bullet we believe it to be.

But it's not all doom and gloom. Vicky emphasizes the power of self-care and the need to speak out and seek help when facing life's challenges. If you're grappling with addiction, anxiety, or body image issues, this episode offers a refreshing perspective that goes beyond the usual advice. Tune in for a candid conversation that might just change the way you think about overcoming personal struggles.
