May is Mental Health Awareness month so we decided to interview 2 authors whose new memoirs deal with their mental health issues and the addictions that resulted from those issues. There is hardly a family who hasn’t been touched in some way by mental illness. For so many years, mental illness in all its forms--anxiety, depression, suicide or bipolar disorder--were kept under wraps which made the sufferers and their loved ones feel even more isolated. But recently, memoirs about messy lives, dysfunctional families, and the realities of finding help have become increasingly popular and can be a powerful tool for the author to help themselves in addition to their readers. Our guests Jaydee Graham and Vitale Buford chat with us about the power of the messy memoir. In part 1 of this week’s show, Jaydee talks to us about her book The Soul Grind: Fighting for Light Amongst the Trenches, an account of her struggles with alcohol and drugs in her teenage years. In part 2 Vitale Buford talks to us about her 2020 memoir, Addicted to Perfect, in which she describes her 10-year addiction to the prescription drug Adderall, a drug often prescribed for people with ADHD. For those who abuse it, it can cause euphoria and the feeling of having superhuman amounts of energy. In Vitale’s case, she used Adderall because she felt it gave her the energy to be able to be “perfect.” Book Mentioned in this Episode: 1- The Soul Grind : Fighting for Light Amongst the Trenches by Jaydee Graham 2- Addicted to Perfect: A Journey Out of the Grips of Adderall by Vitale Buford 3- Make Your Mess a Memoir by Anna David 4- A New Pair of Glasses by Chuck C. 5- Co-Dependent No More by Melody Beattie 6- The Art of Forgiving by Lewis B.

The power of perfectionism:  is it a blessing or a curse?  Are you a perfectionist, and is it driving you crazy or holding you back from living your dream?  Or, are you a perfectionist and you don't know when to turn it off, and it is negatively impacting your work, home life, or social life?   Join us as we welcome life coach, author, and motivational speaker Vitale Buford, author of "Addicted to Perfect," as she discusses the power of perfectionism and how to not let it stop you from living your dream.  You can learn more about Vitale and her work as a life coach at www.vitalebuford.com. 

There are a host of bad things to get addicted to, but maybe one of the most subtle, dangerous addiction is to perfection.  Our guest today, Vitale Buford talks about her journey from being addicted to perfect to a one that is healthy and comfortable with excellence.  This is a great story with a happy ending that we can all learn from.

Vitale Buford may be a name you start to hear more whether you read her memoir "Addicted to Perfect" or if you hire her to be an executive coach for business. Vitale shares her life story of being addicted to Adderall for 10 years while being very successful professionally, to finding herself becoming sole custodian of her 4 year old nephew in the midst of finding herself again. Perfectionism may just be something that plagues you too!

The key to your success doesn't lie in you believing, or stepping into your fear, or in rubbing crystals so you can “manifest”. The “secret” to success is self-discipline. My friend Vitale Buford recently shared this powerful quote: “Self-discipline is the highest form of self-love.” Most people are allowing distractions, procrastination, excuses to chip away at their dreams. They're choosing to settle for an “okay” life, and yet with self-discipline, it is absolutely possible for them to achieve the life of their dreams. Self-discipline is about doing what you NEED to do when you need to do it so that you can do what you WANT to do when you want to do it. Self-discipline is about doing what needs to be done even when you don't feel like it. ESPECIALLY when you don't feel like it.

Have you ever had an vice? Mine was getting everything checked off of my checklist each day until I realized that it was an impossible and exhaustive task. Vitale Buford, our guest on this podcast, had a vice too. Hers was perfectionism. Perfectionism was such a vice for her that she went to all means to maintain a perfect front. Vitale shares tips to help you, if you struggle with perfectionism. Perfectionism can be emotionally and physically draining. And this is what Vitale learned in the hardest way. She talks about overcoming her perfectionism before it cost her everything and the sobriety she has gained when she learned to let go of perfection. Listen in and walk away with some techniques to help you overcome perfectionism and some simple ways to allow yourself to learn to go with the flow. Share with me your vices and what you have done to overcome them. You never know who your story will inspire.

Vitale Buford is a self-professed expert in numbing behavior. From a complicated relationship with achievement and perfectionism, to a long-term relationship with Adderall, Vitale looked to things to heal the wounds she hadn’t yet met head on. At the height of her addiction she began to doctor shop, and once she kicked Adderall and alcohol, she then found herself dealing with an eating disorder.  Vitale had a moment of clarity, and began a deep process of understanding her triggers, healing her past trauma and learned to overcome the compensating tools she utilized to deal with life.  Now sober for five years, Vitale is an executive coach, speaker, host of the Fresh Eyes podcast, and author of the upcoming book Addicted to Perfect.
