This episode of The Unobstructed Podcast is about getting out of your own way—about being caught between shame, fear, and the path to finally feeling clear.

The same week I got sober I also started a new job, went through a breakup, and moved across the country. That was almost four and a half years ago. All of that kinda, sorta, really, definitely sucked… but it was also one of the biggest (and most positive) turning points in my life.

Sobriety reshaped my approach to creativity and stability, but only because of what it exposed. This is at the heart of what we talk about in the episode.

onward.
