Alcohol abuse is just a symptom for me, uh, of depression and anxiety, because I would really, you know, the worse I was feeling, the more I would drink, and the worse I'm feeling, and the more I'm drinking, the less I'm creating.
What happens when a writer and mother decides to quit drinking and embrace creativity? In this engaging episode of The Unruffled Podcast, hosts Sondra Primeaux and Tammi Salas sit down with Katie Bickell, an Alberta-based writer whose viral essay, 'Moms Tell Me To Drink', struck a chord with many. Katie opens up about the shame and regret that clouded her life before sobriety and how these feelings stifled her creativity.
She candidly discusses the confusing societal messages aimed at mothers about drinking and how our children often notice more than we think. This episode is a deep dive into not just a mom's issue, but a woman's issue, making it relevant whether you're a parent or not. Katie also shares her 'Unruffled Toolbox' - sleep, journaling, and female friendships - as essential elements in her recovery journey.
Tune in for an honest conversation that blends personal anecdotes with broader insights into the challenges and triumphs of living sober.
