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.

Cookie Johnson Was The Only One Who Believed In Magic Episode 20 Sep 10, 2019

Show notes

When you fall in love with a professional athlete, you sign up for a life in the spotlight. But when the love of your life is super-star basketball legend, Earvin Magic Johnson, the light in which you stand is brighter than anyone could ever imagine. Cookie Johnson, mother, devoted philanthropist, passionate spokesperson and NY Times Best-selling author, thought she knew exactly what she was in for when she married her college sweetheart, Magic Johnson. With the guidance of her faith, family and friends and the counsel of the other “basketball wives” Cookie found herself settling into her new life as one of the most well-known, first ladies of the NBA. But what if one day your husband held a press conference and made an announcement that would change not only your world, but THE world -- forever? Would you let fear win and turn your back on society before it could turn it’s back on you? Or would you have the courage to use that press conference to help galvanize a movement that would give a face and a voice to the thousands of people who were dying everyday from HIV and AIDS.

Holly Robinson Peete Was The Only Kid With A Famous Dad Episode 19 Sep 03, 2019

Show notes

What if everyone that you ever met told you about their fond childhood memories of your father? Can you imagine what it'd be like to have a dad who was a hero, not just to you but to hundreds and thousands of dedicated daily viewers? Actress, singer, producer and advocate, Holly Robinson Peete's father, Matt Robinson, was the original Gordon on Sesame Street and went on to become one of the most prolific actor/writer/producers of the 20th century. But to Holly, her father Matt wasn't just Gordon, he was her rock, her mentor and her safe place. But what if one day your "safe place" was diagnosed with an illness from which there was no cure? Would you use your clout as a celebrity to funnel money into research? Or would you shift your role from daughter to caregiver and dutifully focus on meeting the day to day needs of the man who'd given you so much? And in turn realize others might need aid in this part of the process too?

John Feldmann Is The Only Sober Guy In The Music Industry Episode 18 Aug 27, 2019

Show notes

What would it be like to be THAT kid? You know the one who refused to dress like other students, the one who had piercings and worshipped punk rock and was always so loaded throughout high school that everyone wondered how they even graduated? John Feldmann, award-winning music producer, writer, mixer and acclaimed-band-Goldfinger-frontman, was a musically gifted punk rocker who grew up in the Santa Cruz mountains of California. But even as a teenager, John's inability to stay sober for more than a few months at a time threatened his relationship with his family, his music and eventually, even threatened his life. But what if when you turned twenty-one, the magical age while everyone else is celebrating taking their first legal drink, you make the decision to take your last one...ever? Would you follow your dream of making a living in an industry known for its decadent lifestyle? Or would you abandon your ambitions and choose a safer path, one with less risk of being led into temptation?
