In this episode of Reluctant Growth, Sydney and I talk about the gifts of sobriety and chat about dating sober. Sydney has been sober for 6 months. She is one of my favourite people and her funny energy, infectious relatability and kindness is the best. I hope you find this episode relatable, funny and inspiring. I find myself to be the most annoying human being on Earth. I digress.

Hello! This weeks episode is up with Jaime Gladman! Jaime got sober while working in the bar industry. She’s also extremely hot, as you can see. A true unicorn. She has been alcohol free for 2 years!

I am really excited to introduce you all to Alyssa Anderson! Alyssa is the host of “Approached” the podcast. She is a yoga teacher, entertainer and one of my very good friends. Not many people know this, but Alyssa is the main reason I got sober. She has been extremely supportive of me since day one and sharing her journey with me changed my life. I hope it changes yours too! I think of Alyssa as my sober fairy godmother in some ways. Thank you Alyssa for joining me. 

I am really interested after getting sober and going through the pandemic for almost two years, how we can grow resilience. True resilience. Finding a way to enjoy life’s light even though we inevitably experience dark times too. Sarah is an example of someone who is resilient to me. Sarah got diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2018 at 26 years old. This disease can be debilitating. In MS, the immune system attacks the protective sheath that covers nerve fibers and causes communication problems between your brain and the rest of your body. Eventually, the disease can cause permanent damage or deterioration of the nerves. Sarah shows bravery, resilience, humour and love in the face of a terrifying disease. She makes me feel like my problems are small, but she still has room for them. She is the best. Thank you Sarah for joining me. I hope you enjoy this episode.

Hello! I'm so excited to share with you my episode with the beautiful Sydney Owchar. Sydney and I went to theatre school together and she is one of the funniest, most beautiful kind actors I know. She shared with me she had recently gotten sober and I had to have her on my podcast. I can't wait to see where Sydney goes and all of the success ahead of her. I hope you enjoy this honest, raw conversation about alcoholism and sobriety.

Hello! I am SO lucky to have beautiful Jordan join me this week. Jordan is one of the TOP Drag Queens in Toronto with the fabulous name "Tiffany Boxx." The founder of one of the largest drag brunches in North America, "Play Date Toronto," Jordan is one of the most tenacious, determined and beautiful people I know. A perfect mix of drive, dedication and a can do attitude, mixed with dreamer vibes. After recording this podcast I felt so energized and positive. 

I found this podcast episode super inspiring and fun. I always learn so much from them. Life has not been easy for Jordan but they shine so much and make Earth better. 

Around 30 minutes in we talk sobriety!

Thank youuuu! Enjoy the episode. 

Bianca works as a content creator and psychedelic drug educator out of Costa Rica. She was in the scene with me in Toronto for years. Bianca is such an example of someone who wasn’t happy, and changed their life accordingly. She is the BEST vibes. I love learning from her and hearing her stories.

Hello my friends,   

Jenny was kind enough to give me her time to do this podcast. She really inspires me. Jenny has been through heart break and disappointment and still is like a Phoenix rising from the ashes with tons of jokes. Like a really funny phoenix. She even makes me laugh during this when its not appropriate to laugh and I am sorry for that. Jenny has this humanity to her that is infectious. Thank you Jenny and I hope you all are as inspired as meee.
