I really am like the only person in their life that's ever openly and honestly and vulnerably talked about recovery that they've heard, and it's a gateway to a whole new life for some people.
What happens when you mix pop culture with a powerful story of recovery? You get Liz Bentley, host of Feathers In My Hair and Liz Explains It All, sharing her raw journey of addiction and sobriety on this episode of Showing Up With Asher Gottesman. Liz dives deep into her past, revealing how she started smoking marijuana at 11, moved on to alcohol and pills, and even battled heroin addiction.
Raised in an upper-middle-class Jewish family outside Philadelphia, she wasn't alone in her struggles—her parents were addicts too. But Liz's story is more than just about hitting rock bottom; it's about the climb back up. She opens up about how yoga, therapy, and EMDR have been crucial in her recovery. And while the conversation gets heavy, there are plenty of lighter moments that showcase her humor and resilience.
Liz also discusses the unique role reality TV, particularly Teen Mom, has played in her sobriety journey. She sees these shows as modern-day soap operas that offer valuable insights into human behavior and societal norms. Her podcasts have become a space for vulnerability and honesty, breaking down the stigma surrounding addiction. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Liz's story offers hope and practical advice for navigating the ups and downs of recovery.
