S3 Episode 04 Chloe: Recovering Loudly … Chaos, Creativity, and the Courage to Start Again
We Recover Loudly – Unfiltered Stories, Unapologetic Recovery
Manage episode 489504671 series 3556209
In this honest and engaging episode of We Recover Loudly, host Shell is joined by Chloe Belle Porter who began drinking at just 11 years old and spent much of her teens and twenties caught in a cycle of chaos, people-pleasing, and emotional burnout.
Together, they explore the impact of early trauma, people-pleasing, and the emotional toll of growing up in survival mode. Chloe shares her unfiltered journey through school suspensions, identity struggles, and relationships shaped by a deep need to belong — all while alcohol became both a comfort and a trap.
Now in recovery, Chloe is the founder of Olivia Danger, a bold, empowering brand rooted in grace and grit — a reflection of her resilience, creativity, and healing. She’s training as a silversmith, crafting tangible pieces that embody strength and self-expression on her own terms.
This conversation is real, relatable, and full of moments that will resonate, especially if you’ve ever felt like you’re holding it together on the outside while falling apart underneath.
Whether you're sober, sober-curious, or just trying to make sense of your own story this episode is for you.
