At 50, I had a huge realisation: I had never had sex while sober.
That moment was a wake-up call, one of many following heartbreak, grief and a series of rock bottoms that pushed me to get the help I desperately needed.
Fast forward to today: I’m sober and I’m thriving in ways I couldn’t have imagined.
I recently joined the incredible August McLaughlin on her award-winning podcast, Girl Boner Radio, a space where honest, empowering conversations about sexuality, healing, and pleasure come to life.
August has such a gift for creating safe, beautiful dialogue and this conversation was no exception.
If you’ve ever felt “too old” to change your life or wondered what’s possible on the other side of rock bottom, this one’s for you.
Here’s to thriving, at any age.
