I'm scared about more and more time on stage because there's a part of me where if I have a couple of days, I'm like 'Oh thank God I don't have a show' because it's like feeling that like we're talking about the energy but I don't...I just have to like show up, put some makeup on and prepare and then see what happens.
Fielding Edlow, a sharp-witted comedian and writer, takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride through her life, from her East Coast beginnings to the bustling streets of NYC. With humor and raw honesty, she opens up about her struggles with body image, sugar addiction, and relationship obsessions. Her journey hit a pivotal point when she recognized her issues with drinking and discovered deeper fears of abandonment and being truly seen, thanks to Alanon.
Fielding’s candid storytelling highlights the complexity of human emotions and the often tangled web of self-worth and fear. Hosts Mark and Josh also dive into their personal battles with self-perception and obsessive thinking, sharing their own experiences and methods for finding joy and creativity in recovery.

Fielding’s story is not just about struggle; it’s about resilience and growth. She talks about the tools she’s adopted—self-care, meditation, and exercise—to combat anxiety and embrace her true self. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how facing our fears can lead to profound self-acceptance and authenticity.
