I went from drinking and dodging tests and trying to get around the situation and, you know, just treating it like a thing that would pass. And my kids went with my mom for Christmas. Uh, I remember they were sending this like social worker, therapist, kind of person over, and of course, my mom always showed her ass in front of the woman like she thinks she's making it.
Ever wondered how someone can turn immense pain into a powerful mission? Meet Martha Duke, the founder and CEO of Recover Out Loud LLC. In this episode of 'The Lighter Side', Jay Casale chats with Martha, a sober mother of two who has faced extreme emotional and physical abuse. Despite these hardships, Martha has emerged as a strong advocate for de-stigmatizing addiction and mental health issues. Martha’s journey is nothing short of inspiring.
She shares candidly about her battles with alcoholism and other disorders like bulimia, shedding light on the complex interplay between different forms of addiction. Her story doesn't stop at personal recovery; she’s made it her life's work to support others through their struggles, both through her company and her engaging Instagram presence. Jay and Martha’s conversation dives deep into the importance of community and support in the recovery process.
They discuss how advocacy can break down the walls of shame and stigma that often surround addiction and mental health issues. And yes, there are lighter moments too—like a chat about burrata cheese and Dan Akroyd’s dramatic roles, adding a touch of humor to an otherwise serious discussion. This episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in stories of resilience and hope.
Martha Duke’s story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of turning personal pain into a beacon of hope for others.
