Barbara Gordon,
international bestselling author of the memoir I’m Dancing As Fast As I Can, to
appear on The Light Within Show with Joan Jacobs on VoiceAmerica’s Radio
Network.
Voice America Talk Radio
Network, Internet broadcasting pioneer, producing and syndicating online audio
and video, today announced that international bestselling author Barbara Gordon
will join Joan Jacobs, host of The Light Within radio program on the
VoiceAmerica Variety Channel ( www.voiceamericavariety.com)
Monday, February 20th, at 10 AM Pacific Time. Barbara Gordon battled with addiction caused by what she thought was a harmless medicine. She tried to gain back control, only to be misdirected by doctors and lose it all: career, money, boyfriend, and friends. But through her convictions and remarkable strength, she recovered. Hundreds have been inspired by her story, and she hopes to continue to share her knowledge with those who are challenged by the stresses of work, family, and friends; a doctor who has given a questionable diagnosis; or their own or a loved one’s struggle with addiction.
In a relevant, timeless, and inspirational interview Gordon
will discuss:
• How her experience challenged the all too common belief that doctors are Gods and we must follow their advice without question
• Insights on listening and valuing the self instead of social norms
• The power of stigma
• The tenuous path from hitting rock-bottom to recovery
• Creating a new model for the doctor-patient relationship
Gordon’s memoir is not an addiction story, but the story of someone overcoming adversity after reaching their darkest point. Gordon had to start over after losing herself completely. She had made a career of questioning people in power, yet when it came to her own personal health, she failed to ask any questions and played the part of the good patient. What we need to learn is that the quick fixes don’t work, and we all must be empowered to take control of our own health and lives. While starting over is challenging, support can be found from all kinds of places.
Barbara Gordon is an international bestselling author. Her memoir, I’m Dancing As Fast As I Can, has become an iconic phrase in the world of addiction and recovery. Selling over 2 million copies, her book has helped and continues to inspire people of all ages, gender and sexual preference. Gordon has appeared numerous times on Oprah, TODAY Show, Good Morning America and many other affiliate talk shows. She has been on the cover of Parade Magazine and featured in the Chicago Tribune, New York Times and Los Angeles Times.
Barbara Gordon is an Emmy-award winning documentary producer who has interviewed and questioned members of the CIA, Kaddafi and other powerful figures. A legendary author, producer and inspirational speaker—Gordon has much to share about empowering people of every generation to ask the tough questions.
