Eileen Tull on Creativity and Sobriety: A 10-Year Journey

Episode Overview

  • Eileen Tull shares her 10-year journey of sobriety and the challenges she faced as a creative professional
  • Discussion on the impact of sobriety on creativity and the fear of judgment in artistic pursuits
  • Exploration of the intersection of art and sobriety through the play 'Household Spirits'
  • Reflections on the evolution of recovery and staying in practice in sobriety
  • Encouragement to embrace imperfection, celebrate progress, and seek support in the sobriety journey
I think it really helps my sobriety to have these outlets to really kind of be by myself, not in a solo production kind of thing, but solo producing my own output, creative output, if that makes any sense at all.
Picture this: You're sitting in a cozy coffee shop, sipping on your favorite brew, and listening to an inspiring conversation about the intertwining paths of creativity and sobriety. That's exactly what you get in this episode of the Sober.Coffee Podcast. Hosts Mike and Glenn welcome Chicago Director Eileen Tull, who opens up about her decade-long journey of sobriety and how it has shaped her creative process.
Eileen shares her experiences directing 'Household Spirits', a dark comedy by Mia McCullough that dives into family secrets and holiday dynamics. This isn't just a chat about a play; it's a heartfelt discussion on the challenges and triumphs of living sober as an artist. Eileen talks about the pressures of perfection, the fear of judgment, and the liberating power of vulnerability.
If you've ever wondered how sobriety can fuel creativity or how to balance artistic expression with recovery, this episode is a must-listen. It's not just for those on the sober path but for anyone seeking to understand the deep connection between personal growth and creative endeavors. So, grab your headphones and get ready for a conversation that's as enlightening as it is encouraging.
