  • Jamie on the Part of Recovery No One Prepares You For | Sober Spill Ep 39

    "In this episode of Sober Spill, Isabel sits down with Jamie Tall for a conversation on how recovery can be subtle, uncomfortable, and deeply personal during a journey of self-reflection and learning who you are after substance use. Jamie shares her personal growth, emotional honesty, and the quiet shifts that happen when you stop numbing and start paying attention. A grounded, relatable conversation about what healing and recovery looks like beyond milestones — and why recovery is as much about unlearning as it is about change.
