#003: Midlife Recovery - My Neighbor Anne - a podcast by Lucy Baber

Recovery—it's not a conversation we often hear about, but being a show all about midlife plot twists, it's a conversation I'm very open to discussing. Today my dear friend and neighbor, Anne, is joining me for a truly eye-opening conversation around her struggle with alcoholism. In this conversation, we're tackling here long-time battle with alcohol, her decision to enter rehab in her 40's, what that looked like during COVID, and the importance of diving into therapy.
