    Episode 005: Sex, Drugs & Self-Worth

    This episode is different. I share a part of my addiction that I've never spoken about publicly before. For a long time, I kept these experiences to myself out of fear, shame and the worry of how they would affect the people I love. In this episode, I talk about using sex in exchange for drugs, how addiction gradually changed my boundaries and the impact it had on my self-worth. This isn't a story about judgement. It's an honest conversation about the reality of addiction, the choices that can happen in survival mode and the healing that comes with speaking openly. If this episode helps even one person feel less alone, then sharing it was worth it. Follow Sober State for updates, future guests and behind-the-scenes content.

    Episode 001: My Story

    I thought the best place to start was by sharing my own story. In this episode, I talk about growing up, my experiences with addiction, entering rehab at 25, finding recovery and the journey that has led me to working in the alcohol and other drugs sector today. I also share why I created Sober State and what I hope these conversations can become moving forward. Thank you for listening and for being here from the very beginning.
