On today’s episode, Eloise Moore shares her experience getting sober at 18. She talks about how alcohol took herself away from her, how normalized blacking out has become, her moment of surrender, and talks in-depth about the misunderstandings that surround being sober.  

“Other people’s perception of normalcy can’t control my life at the end of the day… No matter what anyone else thought about me, no one else was living my life, and if alcohol was making me as miserable as it was, there were no benefits to not staying sober just to please others or out of fear.”

On today’s episode, Brady Bramlett shares his college experience as an NCAA and SEC Student-Athlete. He talks about how having a passion outside of baseball saved his life, his personal experience with depression, how we all need to leave our egos at the door, and reminds us that we can have multiple identities and passions. 

“That’s what people don’t talk about is how condemning it is to be injured as an athlete in the mental health space. Yes, you are physically hurt, and that’s fine because, as an athlete, you know you are trained to be trained...But nobody ever talks about how stripping and how baring it can be on your mental health because your entire identity is completely taken away from you.”
