A 2nd DUI Ended a 30-year Newscaster Career and Started Her Recovery (Beth McDonough)


Listen Later

Beth McDonough had a 30-year career in investigative journalism. She was on the front lines of 9/11, Prince’s death, and the George Floyd riots. Then her second DUI ended it all. She became the story. She watched her mugshot air on the evening news while sitting in a jail cell.

Beth shares the truth that most people would never say out loud. We talk about addiction, public shame, jail, sobriety, and the brutal reality of starting over when everyone has already decided who you are.

Beth walked dogs through the snow to survive. She built a business from nothing and found community in AA.

Then… she got invited back into the newsroom. Now she’s telling the whole story in her new memoir, Standby.

If you’ve ever felt like your life exploded and you didn’t know where to begin again, this one is for you.
