I lost my son, Isaac, to an accidental drug overdose, and when he passed away, I just committed that I was going to do something to make meaning out of his life...
Ever wondered how to create a vibrant social life while staying sober? Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara sit down with Eve Goldberg, the founder of BIGVISION NYC, to discuss just that. After the tragic loss of her son to an overdose, Eve was determined to prevent other young adults in recovery from feeling isolated. She founded BIGVISION NYC, initially hosting weekly sober events in New York City.
But when the pandemic hit, Eve quickly adapted, taking these events online via Instagram Live and Zoom, reaching people all over the world. In this heartfelt episode, Eve shares the origins of BIGVISION NYC and the hurdles they faced moving to virtual platforms. She talks about the unexpected benefits of these online events, from yoga classes to writing workshops, which have provided a lifeline for many in recovery.
Eve also opens up about her personal journey and how music, especially disco, keeps her motivated. Lisa and Tawny dive into the specifics of what makes BIGVISION NYC's approach unique and effective. They explore the importance of community and connection in recovery, especially for young adults who might feel out of place in traditional recovery settings. The conversation is filled with practical advice and inspiring stories that highlight the power of coming together, even when physically apart.
Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a wealth of insights and encouragement. Tune in to hear how BIGVISION NYC is transforming the recovery landscape, one virtual event at a time.
