Sobriety Chat: Kate S
May 12th, 2022 Interviews
Kate Smith is an ex ‘Mad Woman’ (aka high-powered advertising guru), mountaineer, wife, pet-owner, and sober. Click below to watch or listen to my Sobriety Chat with Kate. Apologies for the glitches at the top of the video and also for my muffled audio. The good news is Kate can be heard loud and clear! You’ll hear her talk about the many thousand ‘Day One’s she had, the confusion of being in active addiction, the work she’s done in therapy to identify and separate from her ‘addict brain’, the boozy advertising industry and pushing past shame to be open about recovery. If you want more of Kate, she can be found on Medium and Instagram.
