Tempest definitely is not terf, which is trans, exclusionary, radical, feminist. If people don't know what terf is, what's really interesting about, or, to me, what's unique about tempest is actually its inclusivity.
What does it mean to create an inclusive recovery program in today's world? Holly Whitaker, the force behind 'Quit Like a Woman' and the founder of Tempest, dives into this topic with Vimalasara Mason-John on the Buddhist Recovery Network Podcast. Holly's approach to sobriety isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about transforming lives through a feminist lens and ensuring that recovery spaces are welcoming to everyone.
She shares her personal journey with addiction, the role of yoga and spirituality in her healing, and how these elements shaped the foundation of Tempest. Holly also tackles common misconceptions about Tempest, emphasizing its commitment to inclusivity, especially regarding gender diversity. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking a fresh perspective on addiction recovery, one that champions behavioral change and community support.
Tune in to discover how Holly's innovative approach can offer hope and guidance to those navigating their own paths to sobriety.
