You don't need to be drunk or high to create. It came with having to figure out all of these things that weren't figured out before.
Imagine coming out as transgender on international TV at just 15. That’s exactly what Ryan Cassata did on Larry King Live. In this episode of Sobersplain, host Kyle Rapps sits down with Ryan to explore the intertwining paths of fame, addiction, and recovery. Ryan opens up about how his early exposure to fame influenced his addiction struggles and how finding sobriety has transformed his life and career.
From the challenges of staying sober while touring to the role of justified anger in his recovery, Ryan’s journey is both inspiring and eye-opening. He doesn’t shy away from discussing the tough parts either, like losing relationships and dealing with societal issues that fuel his justified anger. But it’s not all heavy; Ryan also shares the joys of his creative outlets, including his recent 14-song project 'Rebels and Ghosts' and his acting role in the film 'Two Eyes'.
If you’re curious about how someone navigates the complexities of identity, fame, and sobriety, this conversation offers a compelling glimpse into Ryan’s world. Whether you’re in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Ryan’s story is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of finding healthy outlets.
