Once you give that over, it becomes somebody else's story, and we are the players in the story.
Imagine being interviewed on live TV about your most personal journey—sobriety. In this episode of 'The Weekend Sober', Kim and Catherine open up about their experience being featured on WBZ Channel 4 CBS Boston news. They dive into the intense vulnerability of sharing their stories with a wide audience and the mixed feelings that come with handing over control of their narrative to the media. But that's just the beginning.
Kim reflects on how her father's words shaped her relationship with alcohol and the ongoing challenge of balancing recovery with running a business. The duo also discusses the power of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and how sensationalized media headlines can sometimes distort the reality of recovery. This episode is a candid look at the highs and lows of speaking out about sobriety, emphasizing the importance of owning your story and embracing vulnerability.
If you're curious about what it's like to put yourself out there in such a public way, or if you need a reminder of why your story matters, this episode is a must-listen.
