Preston Moore: Thoughts, Attitudes & Behaviors

Victoria's story is a great example of how easy it is to perpetuate the stigma and hide in plain sight under the guise of high achievement and professional expectations.  There is a fine line between professionalism, career dynamics, and feeling comfortable enough to live authentically without repercussions.  I loved hearing how she navigated self-disclosing that she was in recovery from alcoholism and how it brought her closer to her colleagues, not further apart.  On this episode, Victory shares an interesting perspective as a Ph.D. in social work, trauma survivor, self-proclaimed perfectionist, and experience navigating professionally as someone in recovery.  There are so many consistencies with generational alcoholism and mental health as well as, the extreme efforts some go to to keep everyone believing "we have our life together."   Check out Dr. Victoria Burns on Instagram where she shares her story, advocates for people in recovery, chronic illness, and diabetes.  Instagram https://www.instagram.com/b
