Laura McKowen: We Are The Luckiest
Season 3, Episode 103, Mar 06, 2023, 05:14 AM
In this episode we talk to the fabulous Laura McKowen!
Laura is incredibly well-known within sober circles after her first book, a memoir about finding sobriety called We Are The Luckiest, became an instant hit. She talks to us about the inciting incident that led to her becoming sober, and how sobriety gave her the confidence to follow her dreams of being a writer.
Laura also talks to us about her new book, Push Off From Here: Nine Essential Truths to Get You Through Sobriety (and Everything Else). These nine truths first appeared in We Are The Luckiest but have been shared far and wide since - if you haven't heard them before, this episode is absolutely worth the listen to discover those alone.
