For so long we avoid the hard conversations on race because they are uncomfortable. It came from me being sober, like that, literally, and it inspired that being part of, like that discomfort, of being discomfort of being in any, any type of situation.
What happens when the journey to sobriety intersects with the mission of anti-racism? In this thought-provoking episode of Sober Company, hosts Nik and Lacey sit down with Yseult Polfliet and Hannah Johnson from The Kinswomen podcast. Known for their candid conversations about race, Yseult and Hannah bring a unique perspective to the table as both are on their own paths to sobriety.
They delve into how getting sober has equipped them with the clarity and strength needed for their work in anti-racism allyship. Yseult shares how unpacking her relationship with substances helped her approach difficult conversations with a clear head, while Hannah talks about recognizing the detrimental impact of alcohol on her life and finding empowerment in sobriety. A key theme in this episode is the necessity of discomfort for growth. Both in sobriety and in allyship, facing discomfort head-on is essential.
Yseult and Hannah discuss how sitting with the unease of not numbing oneself can lead to personal growth, just as confronting one's biases is crucial for societal change. They also offer insights into navigating conversations about sobriety in social settings and dealing with societal pressures to drink. If you're seeking inspiration to stay sober or want to understand how sobriety can enhance your commitment to anti-racism, this episode is a treasure trove of wisdom.
