Worlds colliding. Laura helped me get sober in 2017. Shannon helped me find my voice in 2022. Both forms of harm reduction that are now central to my life.

YES!!!! Two of the women I look up to the most!!!! Laura is one of my teachers and I would not be almost 4 years alcohol free without her words, bravery, and leading the way. And Shannon has provided me a place to channel my angst and rage both in Dallas with her incredible Moms Demand Action groups that keep growing with the power of grass roots, kitchen table, mama FIRE 🔥 we need to tackle the epidemic of gun violence in our country! And them Women on Wednesdays was of course like my fave when Kamala signed on 😍😍🥰🥰🥰

I am one of yalls biggest fans and cheerleaders and will continue to sing your praises and support you BOTH wherever I go!

I got sober *again* in 2016 when Laura was doing a podcast with another woman (Home). She has always had a clear and inclusive voice. Her books + community save lives. Her legacy wish is literally what ever person that has been saved from the hell of addiction wishes – that by sharing our experience, strength and hope we help people see that they're not alone, people really care, and they too can do it. Sobriety, for a gal like me – whose pain was so much bigger than she could EVER express – is the greatest gift imaginable. Thank you Shannon for this inspiring interview.
