Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life

Transforming from self loathing to self love - Justin Long (You are good enough)

Linda Bjork/Justin Long Season 5 Episode 26

"You'll never be good enough.  You are garbage," Justin Long never questioned those messages that his parents taught him during his childhood.  But when he reached a point that alcohol no longer numbed the pain, he knew he needed to make some changes.   And if he can do it, so can you.

Justin is an author, business owner, and the host of the podcast Straight from the Horse Doctor’s Mouth. You can reach Justin at his website https://jboydlong.com.

Some of the highlights Justin shares:
I am able to change the way I feel about myself
