Carrie Crawford
Carrie Crawford helps people find their way back. As a life and recovery coach, and a dog trainer, she works where healing and connection meet, with people and with the animals that so often help them get there. In this episode of The Rush Outrospective, she sits down with Rush to talk about recovery, empathy, and the outrospective work of understanding yourself by first understanding someone else.
They get into what recovery actually asks of a person, how connection rebuilds a life, and why paying real attention to others is so often the first step back to yourself.
In this conversation
- What recovery really requires, past the first step
- How connection rebuilds a life
- What working with dogs teaches about people
- Outrospection: knowing yourself by understanding others
