Real Talk with Andi Marie: Sobriety, Creativity, and Everything in Between

For us that are in a difficult place, higher power is the belief that we have built within us, the deep desire to live.
Kristen Bear is back on the mic with a heartfelt episode of 'Creative Sobriety', catching up with her good friend and original guest, Andi Marie. After taking a break to grieve the loss of her mother, Kristen dives back into the world of sobriety with a candid chat that feels more like eavesdropping on a conversation between two close friends than a structured interview. This episode has no fancy intros or outros, just raw and honest dialogue.
They cover a lot of ground, from their mutual admiration for Joni Mitchell to the regrets they harbor from their drinking days. Andi opens up about the addictive behaviors she still battles and offers advice for those struggling to get sober or facing relapse. The discussion also delves into deeper topics like religious trauma and the false victim narrative often tied to addiction.
Kristen and Andi explore how empathy and vulnerability can help build meaningful relationships, touching on the dating scene and how to navigate it while staying sober. This episode is a mix of laughter, grief, and wisdom, making it a must-listen for anyone on their own sobriety journey. Tune in for an unfiltered look at the highs and lows of living a creative, sober life.
