Swan Huntley Is The Only One Who Can’t See Her Own Mess Episode 118 Feb 22, 2022

Show notes

She had her first drink at age thirteen and and her last one at age twenty eight, and in between she discovered two important things about herself; she was gay, and she was an alcoholic.

To almost everyone around her, Author Swan Huntley was responsible, organized and accountable, little did they know about the mess she was concealing, not just from them, but from herself.

But what would you do if after “coming out,” you admitted to your brother that it might be time to look at your drinking, and he unexpectedly agreed with you? Would you continue on as if you’d never heard him? Or would you decide that it was finally time to really get clean?

On My Nightstand: Do I Have The Right To Tell Your Story? By Laura Cathcart Robbins Feb 04, 2022

Show notes

This month I say an official goodbye to Moving Forewords, the memoirist collective to which I’ve belonged for the past four, maybe five years. To me, this collection of powerful female writers from all over the country was my safe place. And I am forever grateful and humbled to have been one among many. Although our website will no longer be available, I was able to salvage this piece of writing I did three-ish years ago for our blog and wanted to share it with you all today.

Laura Cathcart Robbins is the host of the popular podcast, The Only One In The Room, and author of the forthcoming Atria/Simon & Schuster memoir, STASH (due out in spring of 2023). She has been active for many years as a speaker and school trustee and is credited for creating The Buckley School’s nationally recognized committee on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice. Her recent articles in Huffpo and The Temper on the subjects of race, recovery, and divorce have garnered her worldwide acclaim. She is a LA Moth StorySlam winner and currently sits on the advisory boards of the San Diego Writer’s Festival and the Outliers HQ podcast Festival. Find out more about her on her website, or you can look for her on Facebook, on Instagram @lauracathcartrobbins and follow her on Twitter @LauraCRobbins
