I found common beliefs, I found people who, when I sat in the room, I felt like one of you know, and, um, so that kind of, you know, I don't want to say that - became my church but definitely became um authentic community.
Imagine living a life where every day feels like you're wearing a mask, hiding your true self. That's exactly what Lisa, known as the Sober Hipster, faced. In this episode of 'The Bubble Hour', host Jean McCarthy chats with Lisa about her transformative journey from alcohol dependence to embracing her true identity through creativity. Growing up in a dysfunctional family, Lisa turned to alcohol to cope with feelings of isolation and pain.
Her struggles only intensified after marriage, leading her down a path of addiction and toxic relationships. It wasn't until she hit rock bottom that Lisa realized something had to change. Through therapy, she discovered the healing power of art and creativity, leading her to develop 'The Story Box'. This unique tool helps women explore their recovery through guided art therapy.
Lisa's story isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding a community that shares common beliefs and experiences, and being honest with oneself. Her journey is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to start healing and that creativity can be a profound tool in recovery.
