Breaking Labels: Yasmin Sparks on Diversity, Boundaries, and Therapy in Sobriety
“I think one thing that therapy has taught me is like being really strong with my boundaries and like, if people always ask me: why don't you drink? Or I tell them, I'm an alcoholic and then I just leave it at that, because those times they just shut up.”
How often do we consider the impact of diversity in sobriety? In this episode of The Sober Butterfly Podcast, host Nadine Mulvina sits down with London-based sober advocate and business owner Yasmin Sparks to dive into the often-overlooked aspects of representation in recovery spaces. Together, they discuss the powerful role that labels and boundaries play in shaping our sobriety journeys and how therapy can be a game-changer in maintaining a healthy, sober lifestyle.
Yasmin shares her personal experiences of navigating sobriety as a woman of color and the importance of seeing diverse faces in recovery communities. They touch on how the labels we use can either uplift or constrain us and why setting boundaries is crucial for respecting our own needs while staying sober. Whether you're on your own path to recovery or just curious about the nuances of sobriety, this episode offers valuable insights into creating more inclusive and supportive spaces.
Tune in to hear Yasmin's inspiring story and practical advice on embracing diversity, setting boundaries, and leveraging therapy to thrive in sobriety.
