This is an extra special episode of The Sober Edge Podcast - we are inviting ALL of you to meet author Laura Cathcart Robbins.   First, you will meet Laura in this special podcast episode. Robbins is the author of Stash: My Life In Hiding. This powerful book takes us on the emotional journey of Laura's addiction to sleeping medication and alcohol. I must share that I was riveted as I read her account of navigating being a Hollywood wife and mother and board president of the private school her children attended WITH sourcing extra refills of Ambien.    I know that many of us had a relationship with alcohol that included 'hiding', whether it was hiding the amount you drank, or the fact that you were drinking again. This is part of why Laura's story is so powerful. Her honest telling of her story includes the parts of her past that she was hiding from everyone in her life. 'My Life In Hiding' is about so much more than hiding one's addiction, it includes learning how to be honest with ourselves.   During this interview, Laura and I were careful not to divulge any 'spoilers' as the book is full of twists and turns. The one 'spoiler' is that we know Laura is ultimately triumphant over her addiction and, like many of us, her life looks completely different now. This book is ultimately a love story, with her children, a surprise relationship but, most importantly, with herself.   Laura Cathcart Robbins is the best-selling author of the Atria/Simon & Schuster memoir, Stash, My Life In Hiding, and host of the popular podcast, The Only One In The Room. She will be joining us in our Author Spotlight Special inside The Sober Edge Book Club.   Show Notes HERE Register to attend our Author Spotlight and meet Laura HERE

Ann Batchelder is the author of Craving Spring: A mother's quest, a daughter's depression, and the Greek myth that brought them together. She served as Editor of Fiberarts Magazine and was a guest curator for the Asheville Art Museum. Ann has kept a mindfulness practice since 2004, is the mother of two adult children, and lives with her husband in Asheville, N.C. This is Ann's first appearance on The Only One In The Room. Ann talks to Laura about how her journaling led to her memoir, and discovering how deep her daughter's depression really was. This leads her to talk about the eating disorder that her daughter developed, which led to a drug addiction as well. It wasn't until her daughter invited her to therapy that she realized her daughter was addicted to heroin. After going to Al-Anon, discovering the Greek myth of Demeter and Persephone, and her daughter getting arrested, Ann finally got the courage to begin her healing process, which led to her daughter's healing as well. This included really learning how to sit with her feelings and to not submit to kneejerk reactions. Before they wrap, Ann shares how her daughter is doing today, and talks a little more about the Greek myth that helped her heal her relationship with her daughter.

Stefanie Wilder-Taylor is a comedian, author, and podcaster who's making her second appearance on The Only One In The Room. Her new, best-selling book, Drunk-ish, is all about her journey to sobriety and is available wherever you get your books. She's been recording her popular parenting & comedy podcast For Crying Out Loud for over 13 years now with her co-host Lynette Carolla. Laura welcomes Stefanie back to the show and two reminisce about their friendship over the years for a bit before diving into sobriety. Stefanie tells a story about the first New Year's Eve she spent sober, as well as the time she tried her first beer as a teenager. Stefanie then talks about how she would normalize her excessive amounts of drinking, and how being a stand-up comedian helped feed into her addiction. Laura and Stef then have an honest discussion about Xanax addiction and how it's both similar and different from alcoholism. Stefanie also remembers the time when she was called out by a New York Times journalist, and the online backlash that followed. Before they wrap, Stefanie recalls the event that pushed her to get sober. This leads to a discussion about having a “high-bottom” and getting used to a booze free lifestyle.Check out Stefanie's first appearance on The Only One In The Room Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stefanie-wilder-taylor-is-the-only-sober-mom-in-the/id1457399201?i=1000437396321For more on Stefanie Wilder-Taylor: Email: babyonbored@gmail.comWebsite: https://stefaniewildertaylor.com/IG:@stefaniewildertaylorFB:@stefaniewildertaylorHer new book: Drunkish https://www.amazon.com/Drunk-ish-Memoir-Loving-Leaving-Alcohol/dp/B0CBCVYRJ4/Her Podcast: For Crying Out Loud https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/for-crying-out-loud/id354082588 Visit our website: https://theonlyonepod.com/ for full interviews, videos, event dates, articles and more.

Imagine if as an eleven-year-old, you were woken up by the sounds of your father murdering your mother? Filmmaker and podcaster, Collier Landry testified on the witness stand against his father at age 12, and it was his testimony that helped put his father in prison for life. But later on as an adult, he found that he still wanted closure. But what would you do if you'd confronted your father in prison in the hopes that he would tell you why he did it, but found that he was incapable of telling the truth? Would you verbally attack him in a fit of justified rage? Or would you hug him and tell him you loved him before saying goodbye.

Imagine reading the paper and seeing a horrific story about a dog who died after being shot by the police, and inexplicably feeling that the public was being misled, that the dog was not dead, but alive. A former correctional officer and businessman, Charlie Cifferalli was living in Nebraska when we read the story of Star The Dog getting shot in the head by a New York City police officer while she was trying to protect her unhoused guardian. So what would you do if everyone you contacted said that Star was dead, but you just KNEW that she was still alive? Would you decide to let the notion go and get back to your life? Or would you follow your intuition and go on a journey that would change your life forever?

Imagine sharing everything with your best friend, and then discovering that the two of you had another common bond, something that appeared to set you apart from your peers - an anxiety disorder. Counselors, mental health advocates, authors and podcasters, Abbe Greenberg and Maggie Sarachek met in college and soon discovered that they were both long-time anxiety sufferers. But what would you do if you'd figured out that the combination of good information and community could equal relief? Would you think, “a sisterhood might be nice, but it sounds like too much work?” Or would you launch an online community that shows over 200,000 members how to live happily with anxiety?

What if you were the drummer for Maroon 5, and soon after you became one of the best-known bands in the world, you realized that there was something very wrong, something that impaired your ability to play? Founding member of Maroon 5, author and associate marriage and family therapist, Ryan Dusick, found himself keeping his condition a secret from Adam Levine and the rest of his bandmates. Hoping that he'd never have to reveal to the others what was really going on. But what would you do if one day your bandmates confronted you and asked you to take a step back? Would you insist on continuing anyway, unwilling to let go of the band you'd help build? Or would you take a step back, way back, and change the course of your life forever?

Imagine going to court on a civil matter and then finding yourself being sentenced to prison - for contempt of court. Motivational Speaker, Tedx Speaker and best-selling author, Peter Sage, thought he'd be back in time to finish his workday when he went to court in January of 2017, but instead, he was sent to Pentonville, the UK's most violent prison. So what would you do if you were wrongfully imprisoned and had to say goodbye to your fiancee, your life, and the money you'd just invested in a major business event? Would you fight for freedom, using every resource at your disposal? Or would you become a secret agent of change and show others how they too, could conquer adversity?

Can you imagine what it'd be like to watch the sunset, or a football game, or even take a picture, knowing that it would be the last time that you could see what was in front of you? Author and inspirational speaker, Chad Foster, was just three years old when he was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a disease that gradually robs you of your eyesight. Twenty years later, he was self-medicating with alcohol, riddled with embarrassment, depression and grief about going blind and thinking that his life was over. But what would you do if you'd decided that feeling sorry for yourself wasn't how you wanted to spend the next fifty or so years? Would you cower from a future that was too scary to imagine? Or would you transform yourself from “poor me” to a leader that inspires others to improve their vision?

Sofia Rose, critically acclaimed Latina performer, published model, pioneering BBW pornstar became an adult film actress knowing that she'd be fetishized by some and criticized by others.  But what would you do if you discovered that by simply being yourself on film, you made it possible for real women, women who looked like you to feel desirable? Would you let the critics get to you and retire from your chosen profession? Or would you continue to win award after award and show the world how a Big Beautiful Woman does it?

Imagine being twelve years old when your father leaves your family. And instead of watching him drive away, you give chase, on foot, for four whole miles? For addiction trauma specialist and life coach, Sean “Seano” McFarland, his father's leaving was the beginning of a series of traumatic events that would shape and change the course of his entire life.

We are going to talk about drug addiction today. Even if you don't struggle with addiction yourself, I want you to listen to this conversation. It is vulnerable, eye-opening, and encouraging on so many levels.  Laura Cathcart Robbins is the host of the popular podcast, The Only One In The Room, and author of her memoir, STASH. When she needed help most, she couldn't find herself in the stories and books on shelves. So, she wrote her memoir to speak out, become part of the solution, and give other women who are struggling with addiction, a place to find hope and encouragement.  Laura's beautiful book is about her journey parting from her authentic self, struggling with addiction, and coming back to her authentic self. It is raw, vulnerable, and deeply encouraging on so many levels. Go grab this book! I know you will enjoy it (especially after you hear from her in this conversation).  In this episode Allie + Laura discuss:  ❤️ Motherhood + needing help to cope, and how that was connected to her addiction ❤️ How pride and being self-sufficient holds back so many from getting helped  ❤️ What led her to writing her story + why speaking out for black women was so important to her  ❤️ True diversity that goes unnoticed and how we can be better at including everyone, no matter who they are  ❤️ Breaking free of shame and how it will take you to a place of true freedom Connect with Laura NAME: Grab Laura's memoir, Stash  Instagram - @lauracathcartrobbins  Instagram - @theonlyoneintheroom  TikTok - @mscathcartrobbins The Only One Mentioned in this Episode: Pre-order the Declutter Like A Mother Planner  It's a Piece of Cake by Cupcake Brown  Connect with Allie: Instagram Website Podcast Page This podcast is produced by Pivot Media Co. Interested in advertising on this podcast?
