In this episode, Laura shares her perspective and highlights:

  • Her struggle with performative motherhood before getting sober
  • How embracing discomfort can lead to profound personal growth and a deeper connection with others

Laura Cathcart Robbins (she/her) is an author, freelance writer, speaker, and host of the popular podcast The Only One in the Room. Her work has appeared in HuffPost, The Tempest, and more. After years of hiding her addiction from everyone, now, with courage and candid openness, she reveals how she managed to begin the long journey towards sobriety and unexpectedly finding new love.
