In this powerful and inspiring episode of Going Rogue, Angie Manson sits down with Gail Taylor—an author, musician, keynote speaker, and former financial advisor—who shares her extraordinary journey from childhood trauma and substance use to living a purpose-filled, sober life.

Gail opens up about losing her father at a young age, falling into addiction as a teenager, becoming a functioning alcoholic as an adult, and eventually hitting a high bottom. But that wasn’t the end of her story—it was the beginning of a radical reinvention. After a successful 25-year career in finance, Gail followed her passion, learned music from scratch in her 60s, and now inspires others through her book, Curveballs, her music, and her keynotes.

Angie and Gail dive deep into:

• The importance of self-awareness and setting boundaries as a loved one of someone with addiction
• What it's like to parent a child struggling with addiction
• The deadly realities of fentanyl and today’s opioid crisis
• The stigma around alcohol, especially for high-functioning users
• Rebuilding a life through creativity, purpose, and personal growth
• The power of mindset, gratitude, and lifelong learning
• Why it’s never too late to start over and follow your passion

This episode is a must-listen for anyone in recovery, anyone who loves someone struggling with addiction, or anyone feeling stuck and wondering if it’s too late to make a change.
