Facing Hard Truths: Marissa Rodriguez on Sobriety and Radical Honesty
Other people are never the problem.
What happens when you sit down for an open therapy session with someone who believes in radical honesty? In this episode of 'This Week in Sparkling Water', Marissa Rodriguez returns as the guest-of-the-year to join host M. Joakim Eriksson for a candid and sometimes challenging conversation. The duo dives deep into tough topics like alcoholism, racism, and the complexities of cutting ties with a parent.
Joakim is confronted with the hard truth that other people are never the problem, which sparks a discussion about the importance of communication and obligation in relationships. They also touch on anxiety, the fear of silence, and social conservatism in the US. Amidst these serious discussions, there's a lighter moment as they sample and review three different orange-flavored sparkling waters from Field Day, Bubly, and Crystal Geyser.
Whether you're navigating your own sobriety journey or just love a good heart-to-heart over a fizzy drink, this episode promises to be both thought-provoking and refreshing.
