Only One In The Room

Hosted by Laura Cathcart Robbins, a writer and a recovery thriver and survivor, Laura found herself in an all too familiar position. In September 2018, she was the only black woman in the room at Brave Magic, a famed writer’s retreat. After it was over, she wrote about her “only one” experience in The Huffington Post and comments started flooding into her DM. These comments were from people from all races, ethnicities, creeds, and nationalities who had felt “othered”. Laura beautifully interviews a person about their Only One story each episode and addresses as many of those DM’s as possible in the process. In this podcast, you’ll hear raw, vulnerable accounts from people who are, like most of us, just eager to connect. Our hope is that The Only One In The Room will inspire a change of perspective in how we all see and hear each other’s stories. We want you to think twice before judging the person standing next to you at a party, in the pick-up line at school, or in a crowded subway car. This is a podcast for anyone who has ever felt alone in a room full of people – which is to say, that this podcast is for everyone.

Charlie Cifarelli Is The Only One Adopted A Dog And Became A Citizen Of The World Dec 26, 2023

Show notes

Imagine reading the paper and seeing a horrific story about a dog who died after being shot by the police, and inexplicably feeling that the public was being misled, that the dog was not dead, but alive.

A former correctional officer and businessman, Charlie Cifferalli was living in Nebraska when we read the story of Star The Dog getting shot in the head by a New York City police officer while she was trying to protect her unhoused guardian.

So what would you do if everyone you contacted said that Star was dead, but you just KNEW that she was still alive? Would you decide to let the notion go and get back to your life? Or would you follow your intuition and go on a journey that would change your life forever?

The Anxiety Sisters Are The Only Ones In The Room Explaining How To Survive Anxiety Dec 19, 2023

Show notes

Imagine sharing everything with your best friend, and then discovering that the two of you had another common bond, something that appeared to set you apart from your peers - an anxiety disorder.

Counselors, mental health advocates, authors and podcasters, Abbe Greenberg and Maggie Sarachek met in college and soon discovered that they were both long-time anxiety sufferers.

But what would you do if you’d figured out that the combination of good information and community could equal relief? Would you think, “a sisterhood might be nice, but it sounds like too much work?” Or would you launch an online community that shows over 200,000 members how to live happily with anxiety?

Ryan Dusick Is The Only Rock Star Who Found It Harder to Breathe Dec 12, 2023

Show notes

What if you were the drummer for Maroon 5, and soon after you became one of the best-known bands in the world, you realized that there was something very wrong, something that impaired your ability to play?

Founding member of Maroon 5, author and associate marriage and family therapist, Ryan Dusick, found himself keeping his condition a secret from Adam Levine and the rest of his bandmates. Hoping that he’d never have to reveal to the others what was really going on.

But what would you do if one day your bandmates confronted you and asked you to take a step back? Would you insist on continuing anyway, unwilling to let go of the band you’d help build? Or would you take a step back, way back, and change the course of your life forever?

Peter Sage Is The Only One In The Room Who Was Grateful to go to Prison Dec 05, 2023

Show notes

Imagine going to court on a civil matter and then finding yourself being sentenced to prison - for contempt of court. Motivational Speaker, Tedx Speaker and best-selling author, Peter Sage, thought he’d be back in time to finish his workday when he went to court in January of 2017, but instead, he was sent to Pentonville, the UK’s most violent prison.

So what would you do if you were wrongfully imprisoned and had to say goodbye to your fiancee, your life, and the money you’d just invested in a major business event? Would you fight for freedom, using every resource at your disposal? Or would you become a secret agent of change and show others how they too, could conquer adversity?

Matt Cox Is The Only One Writing True Crime Stories From Inside Prison Nov 28, 2023

Show notes

Imagine being a conman doing a lengthy prison sentence for a variety of bank fraud charges and finding that instead of the yard or the track, you feel drawn to the library.

Matt Cox, former conman and true crime author, spent years in prison writing stories, starting with his own and then going on to write the stories of his fellow inmates.

But what would you do if you realized that once you were released the only legal ways you knew how to earn money were now off the table? Would you go back to a life of crime or would you embark on a new career and become a legit true crime author?
