    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.

    Angelique Bates Is The Only Childstar Who Waited Until Now To Tell Her Story Episode 112 Jan 11, 2022
    Show notes

    Can you imagine being on a number-one hit show at age-12 and not being able to ride a rollercoaster without getting mobbed by your fans?

    Angelique Bates, actress, dancer, and comedian, landed a coveted spot on a Nickelodeon hit show, after a nationwide search for talented kid comedians.

    But what would you do if everyone assumed because you’d been on TV, your life must be all glitz and glamour, but the reality was starkly different? Would you hide your experiences with child abuse, depression, and drinking from the world? Or would you go on your friend’s podcast and tell everyone the truth, for the very first time?

    Benny Pough, music executive, entrepreneur, author, real estate proprietor, and founder of DVerse Media flew home earlier on that fateful day, just so he could accept his friend’s invitation and show up as he’d promised.

    But what would you do after getting into the car, you were in an accident that would change your life forever? Would you resent your friend for walking away without a scratch? Or would you see it as an opportunity to change your life, on impact?

    Bonus Re-Release: Mikal Vega Is The Only One Who Realizes That The Death Of His Son Was A Gift From The Infinite Dec 28, 2021
    Show notes

    Imagine being a Navy SEAL and being deployed to Iraq to serve your country. Twenty-two-year combat veteran and Vital Warrior nonprofit founder and CEO, Mikal Vega, was set to deploy yet again when he was called to another type of duty, one that allowed him to be closer to his son.

    But what would you do if that child you loved so much tragically died when he was a young adult? Would you numb yourself with chemicals and shut the world out? Or would you heal yourself through the power of different modalities and realize that your son’s death might actually be a gift from the infinite?

    Bonus Re-Release: Nick North Is The Only Trans Dad Of Five Dec 21, 2021
    Show notes

    Imagine you were assigned female at birth, but nothing ever quite felt quite right. And you found yourself wondering over and over, why you couldn’t just be a boy like all the other boys?

    Brand strategist, Nick North lived as a woman and married a man, giving birth to four beautiful children before meeting Catherine, the love of his life.

    But what would you do if you came to understand that you weren’t gay, but trans, and it was something you could no longer ignore? Would you conceal your real identity and try to be the mom your kids had always known, or would you take the steps to live in your truth and share your journey with the world?
