Navigating Friendships While Staying Sober: Jess Marriott's Journey

In general, the balance and the peace that I'm able to feel in my life is just so much richer, whereas before I felt like I was constantly seeking and trying to find my baseline of trying to find peace or working my way to peace, and now it feels more of a normal thing that I just maintain.

In this episode of the 'Sober Reference Podcast', host Louise Grati sits down with Jess Marriott, a Holistic Online Counsellor and Coach, to explore this tricky terrain.
