Recovery Disco Valentine Darling

Everyday I experience gender. Sometimes it's through an interaction on the street, and other times its a memory that floats through my mind. This episode is my gender story told through a nonlinear collection of fragmented memories, queer history, and silhouettes of my life.

When Millie Gooch got sober, there were very few options and none of them held space for her experience, so she carved her own path and started Sober Girl Society.  In this episode we talk about the different ways to identify with recovery and the long lineage of empowerment based recovery books written by women dating back to the 70's including Millie's new book "Sober Girl Society Handbook. " If you love getting book recommends and hearing peoples recovery journeys, this episode is for you.
