What happens when a passion for volcanoes meets the struggle of addiction? In this episode of 'Liars, Thieves, Gluttons & Whores', host Nanci Adair sits down with her sister, Meg Weston, to explore just that. Meg, a former CEO turned photographer and poet, shares her gripping journey through addiction and recovery, all while capturing the fiery essence of active volcanoes around the world. From Sicily's Mount Etna to Hawaii's Kilauea, Meg's adventures are as explosive as the landscapes she photographs.
But it's not just about the physical journey; Meg delves into the spiritual connection she feels with these natural wonders, seeing them as symbols of a power greater than herself. Her story is a testament to how art can be both a refuge and a revelation in the battle against addiction. Meg's insights into the delicate balance between creativity and addiction provide a unique perspective on how artists navigate their sensitivity and profound desire to experience the world deeply.
This episode isn't just for those in recovery; it's for anyone curious about the transformative power of art and the resilience of the human spirit.
