Beth Lapides on Recovery, Yoga, and Navigating Life's Big Choices

So my sobriety happened in such a funny way...I was somehow able to hear, like you know, you need to stop smoking.
What happens when comedy, recovery, and yoga intersect? You get an enlightening chat with Beth Lapides. In this episode of 'Recovery Rocks', hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara sit down with Beth, the mastermind behind Los Angeles' iconic alternative comedy show, UnCabaret. For over 25 years, UnCabaret has been a platform for marginalized voices to share their unscripted, personal stories.
Now, Beth brings her wisdom to the podcast, discussing her new audiobook 'So You Need to Decide', which features celebrities talking about tough choices in family, work, love, moving, and spirituality. Beth opens up about her own recovery journey and how yoga became a sanctuary for her, even when the going got tough.
She shares how creating UnCabaret provided a space for performers to be raw and real, and how this has been crucial for both her and her community's healing process. The conversation touches on the importance of community and spirituality in recovery, highlighting how these elements can make navigating sobriety a bit less daunting. The trio also dives into the intersection of recovery and creativity. Beth emphasizes that letting go of perfectionism can be a game-changer in sobriety.
Her insights on how yoga can help you connect with your body and find inner peace are particularly inspiring. If you're curious about how to blend recovery with creativity or looking for some guidance on making tough life decisions, this episode is a must-listen. To top it all off, the Music Minute features tunes from Natasha Bedingfield and Cyndi Lauper, adding a musical twist to the heartfelt discussion.
Tune in for a blend of humor, wisdom, and practical advice that will leave you feeling both entertained and enlightened.
