Getting sober requires a rewiring of the brain and instead of reaching for a drink, we have to learn how to reach for support.
Jamie Klingler's story is a compelling blend of resilience, activism, and personal transformation. In this episode of 'One For The Road', hosted by David Wilson, Jamie opens up about her journey from the streets of Philadelphia to her life in London, where she has spent the last 19 years working in publishing and events. Jamie's not just any guest; she's a writer, activist, keynote speaker, book reviewer, and a vocal advocate for women's safety.
Her accolades include being named #9 in the UK Communicators of 2021 by PR Week for her work with Reclaim These Streets. She’s been featured in over 300 interviews and regularly appears on major platforms like the BBC and Sky News. But behind all these achievements lies a deeply personal journey of sobriety. Jamie talks about the double challenge of getting sober and learning to sit with her emotions without the crutch of alcohol.
She shares candidly about the role of accountability and how true friends became her pillars of support during tough times. As an activist, Jamie also highlights the intersection between her sobriety and her advocacy work, emphasizing how activism has given her life new purpose. This episode isn't just about Jamie's struggles; it's about her triumphs and the importance of community in navigating life's challenges.
Whether you're looking for inspiration on your own sobriety journey or interested in the power of activism, Jamie's story offers valuable insights and hope.
