Listen Bitch! Alcohol is the Worst One

Ep. 240

Miquita Oliver and Jordan Stephens debate your questions around the substances people take to escape from the world at times, and Miquita reveals she only recently dated soberly for the first time. They get into why alcohol is legal while other mind-altering things are not, and why many of us can be afraid to sit with our feelings. Is it about time we got comfortable with being uncomfortable?

Next week the theme is DRUGS - part 2! So much more to explore. Send your voice note questions on WhatsApp https://wa.me/447849030711
