This week Amanda chats with Laura Curran a single parent who bravely shares her story of recovering from alcohol addiction in her early 30's, how this impacted her life plus the steps that she took towards recovery. Laura is now celebrating one year sober and this episode is full of courage, wisdom, vulnerability, humour and advice.

***TRIGGER WARNING***

Topics include post natal depression, grief, shame, parenting, childhood trauma/abuse, AA meetings, triggers, therapy.......we cover a LOT of ground in this episode and I just know you will be inspired by Laura and her determination and sparkle now.
