Warning: This episode is about sobriety, which in the interview you’ll hear will be linked to alcohol and substance misuse, and to difficult mental health topics. If this is not the right time for you to listen to this episode, feel free to skip it, or to come back to it when the time is right.
Another day, another interview, although this time the topic we have chosen is a slightly trickier one: the intersection between queerness and addiction, particularly when it comes to alcohol. To help us unpack this, Casey and Lea are joined by Mathilda, who tells us her sobriety story and compares it with Lea’s throughout the episode. After sharing their experiences, Mathilda and Lea offer us some valuable insight into the deeper links between queerness and addiction, and some tips about how friends and loved ones can help support sober queers, ending the episode on a positive note. To add to those final positive vibes, Lea shares yet another fabulous pick-up line: listen until the end of the episode to find out what she’s come up with this time!
