You know when you meet someone and five minutes in, you’re like, “Oh… we’re going there”? That’s what happened when I sat down with Laura Cathcart Robbins — author of Stash, host of The Only One in the Room, and someone who knows what it’s like to be the one smiling on the outside while quietly falling apart.
Laura opens up about hiding a pill addiction that no one saw coming, what finally brought her to her knees (and then to a 12-step meeting), and how hard it is to be a Black woman in recovery in rooms that often don’t feel made for you. We talk about code-switching, motherhood, perfectionism, people-pleasing… and the wild idea that you don’t have to do any of it alone.
This episode hit me hard — in the best way. Laura is funny, wise, honest, and so generous with her story. You’ll laugh, you might cry, and you’ll definitely feel a little less like you’re the only one.
