Drunk-ish: Anna David and the Wrong Promises
Thought FCOL people would appreciate this episode of Drunk-ish with new mom, Anna David. We get into the infamous “Fix” headline fiasco, why community laughter can be medicine, and how she accidentally checked into the other Promises—think broken hoop, not Malibu tennis courts. Anna talks getting sober at 30, the power of 12-step, and how EMDR rewired her life. We also compare notes on early motherhood being… let’s say “not a spa day,” and celebrate her new gig co-hosting Sober Living and running Legacy Launchpad Publishing.
