Mary Beth talks about her addiction and recovery journey through her memoir, From Junkie to Judge: One Woman's Triumph Over Trauma and Addiction, which I had the sincere pleasure to read before we sat down together!

It’s hard not to gush or give away too much of her story, but when I say I admire this woman for what she’s endured, conquered, and built, that’s not me being dramatic.

She’s such an inspiration on so many levels. She battled her addiction to IV meth use by facing her childhood trauma and took her recovery into her own hands as an atheist woman who felt like there wasn’t a recovery program that fit her own values and beliefs.

I hope you guys enjoy this one as much as I did!

Ashley and I met to chat about her battle with booze—including how it started and why she left drinking in our past.

Her story reminds me a lot of some of my own experiences with alcohol. The way it creeps up on you, the self-loathing, the weird “gotta-drink-but-don’t-wanna” feeling…

And how do you eleven get out of it once you realize it might be an issue? Does it always take crashing and burning to realize you need help?

We can’t wait to have you hang out with us for this one!

I am so stoked to talk to Jeremy Webster, founder of ODAAT Apparel, entrepreneur, designer, father, and all-around good dude.

How does a person go from a problematic drinker to the owner of a recovery-celebrating clothing brand? Turns out Jeremy’s path covers A LOT of ground—literally and figuratively!

We talk about a ton of stuff, like Japan, fatherhood, dangerous secrets, the power of family, crazy coincidences (you won’t believe where his new office is located…), and clothing for a cause.

Thanks for coming to hang out with us!
