  Taking Care of Tomorrow’s Me Today

  Aug 21, 202616 minS4

  Sobriety doesn't make life painless. I get to feel all the things, good and bad, without reaching for the escape I know would give me temporary relief. In this episode, I talk about the difference between relief and resolution, learning how to feel pain better, and remembering that whatever I choose today gets handed to the person I wake up as tomorrow. Taking care of my future self happens today. I don't have to feel good today to have a good day in recovery.

  Haven Point by Virginia Hume: Alcoholism, Family Secrets, and Generational Recovery

  Aug 20, 202615 minS4

  In this Reads and Recovery episode, I review Haven Point by Virginia Hume, a multigenerational story about grief, alcoholism, family secrets, resentment, and belonging. I reflect on how one person’s unprocessed pain affects an entire family, why honest conversations matter, and how understanding the experiences that shaped our parents can change the way we see them and ourselves.

  I Survived

  Aug 18, 202622 minS4

  The clot buster worked. My words returned for the most part. There was no brain bleed. I was 46 years old, five years sober, and I had survived a stroke. I genuinely believed I could go home and get back to my normal life. In this episode, I look back at those first days after my stroke and the enormous relief and gratitude I felt when I could communicate again after suffering aphasia during my stroke. I talk about how five years of sobriety had already taught me how to survive scary things one day at a time. I didn't know it yet, but the recovery program that helped me rebuild my life with alcoholism would be essential to rebuilding my life after stroke. At the time, though, I wasn't thinking about a lifetime of stroke recovery. I thought the worst was behind me. In retrospect, I'm grateful I didn't know what was coming. I needed the chance to believe I was okay, return to my life, and discover for myself what recovery was going to ask of me.

  You Don’t Look Disabled

  Aug 17, 202640 minS4

  Five years ago, a nurse walked past my room in the ICU after my stroke and said, “You belong here.” My outward appearance didn’t match the seriousness of your medical condition. That moment became significant in shaping my understanding of invisible illnesses. It was my first glimpse of what I would encounter repeatedly—people believe what they can see. Living with a central vestibular disability and chronic pain created a strange internal negotiation. If people see me laughing, creating, enjoying my life, or simply having a good day, will they think I'm not suffering? A photograph captures the smile, but doesn’t capture the work it took to get it on my face or the fatigue and pain after everyone goes home. In this episode, I talk about the pressure I've sometimes felt to look "sick enough" to be believed, what my stroke recovery has taught me about living with things others can't see, and why I don't have to prove my pain exists. I can laugh while my head hurts, be grateful while grieving what I've lost, and love my life while wishing parts of it were different. My disability doesn't disappear when I'm happy, and I don't have to have a cure to allow myself to live.

  When My Enthusiasm Exceeds Capacity

  Aug 14, 202630 minS4

  I have a lot going on right now, all of it is stuff I want to do. I'm writing, painting, volunteering, crafting, decorating, and apparently I've added learning to fish now too. So I was walking the other day feeling completely overwhelmed. How have I somehow managed to achieve being overwhelmed in medical retirement just doing my hobbies? In this episode, I talk about what I'm learning about enthusiasm, capacity, and the energy it takes just to add something new to my life. I'm also learning that every idea doesn't have to become a project, everything doesn't have to be finished right now, and sometimes I need to leave a little space in my life to experience it.
