Summary

Laura McKowen is a writer, teacher, and retreat leader and her first book We are the Luckiest: The Surprising Magic of a Sober Life came out in January.

This week, we cover so many topics, including her book-writing process (she hits it Fleabag-style!), the painful necessity of going back to relive the hardest parts, what to do about loneliness, what happens when people around you don't get it, what to do with convenient lying, and how to start working towards having just one version of yourself.

This conversation, y'all. It's good and big and powerful. We talk about sobriety, but also about SO MUCH MORE. Enjoy, enjoy!
