Today, on Botalks, I talk with my mom, Stacie. She gives us a look into her life as an addict and person with mental illness. If someone you know is struggling with addiction or mental illness, please contact the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA's) at 1-800-662-HELP(4357), or go online at samhsa.gov/find-help. Also, please be sure to check out my second podcast Podnuggets, released every Friday, about little nuggets of information that you may find interesting. This week on podnuggets, I talk about the Agnews Insane Asylum of Santa Clara, California. Follow me on Instagram @Botalkspodcast, and subscribe to my YouTube channel The Botalks Podcast.
