I wasn't born thinking that I was wrong or broken or confused or greedy.
Imagine living a life where you constantly feel the need to hide your true self. In this episode of 'Sober Stories', host Beth Bowen sits down with Victoria Towery, who shares her powerful journey of embracing her queer identity and the profound impact sobriety has had on her life. Victoria opens up about the trauma she experienced when she first tried to come out in sixth grade, and how it kept her closeted for years.
She discusses the concept of 'performing' one identity while hiding another, and the toll that perfectionism can take on mental health. One of the most compelling parts of Victoria's story is her struggle with love addiction and codependency. Through therapy, she learned to recognize these patterns and began to heal. Victoria also talks about the transformative power of meditation and how it helped her tap into her intuition and live more authentically.
Beth and Victoria delve into the challenges and joys of allowing one's true self to emerge, even within a heterosexual marriage. They explore how societal expectations can shape our behaviors and the importance of rejecting those that don't align with our values. The episode is a heartfelt exploration of personal growth, self-acceptance, and the courage it takes to live authentically. If you're interested in stories of resilience and the journey to self-discovery, this episode is a must-listen.
