Sobriety and Mental Health: A Deep Dive with Tawny Lara
“We can approach this journey as painful and pleasure like it can be both. Like we don't give ourselves the grace to say this is the most exciting time of our life, to really discover ourselves, and that's kind of euphoric.”
What happens when sobriety and mental health intersect? Jeanne Foot welcomes Tawny Lara, a journalist and co-host of the Recovery Rocks podcast, to unpack this complex relationship. Tawny, known for her fearless writing in outlets like Men’s Health and Huffington Post, brings her unique perspective on recovery, gender bias, and sexuality to the table. This episode isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about understanding the deeper layers of trauma and how they intertwine with our mental well-being.
Jeanne and Tawny explore non-alcoholic alternatives that can make the journey to sobriety less daunting and discuss the often-overlooked impact of alcohol abuse in the queer community. They also emphasize the importance of self-compassion and holistic healing methods that address trauma from every angle. If you're looking to understand the full picture of sobriety and mental health, this episode offers a wealth of insights and practical advice.
Tune in to hear a candid conversation that could very well change your approach to recovery.
