EP 599: Naked Life Story - Soraya Odishoo
Soraya struggled to feel accepted and authentic her entire life. Early on she realized just how judgmental the world could be and how difficult it was to fit the mold created by others. And there were so many things that made her stand out - her mixed race, her artistry, and her sexual orientation. When her parents moved across the country leaving her feeling alone and left behind in New York City, she found solace and escape in alcohol and drugs. Rehab and AA brought her peace and comfort for a time but she eventually found herself outgrowing AA and the beliefs around it. She joins Annie Grace to discuss her journey including the struggle to feel authentic, heard, and valued as a member of the LGTBQIA++ community, what it was like getting sober in AA and why she doesn’t have negative feelings around it, what happens when you outgrow AA, and how learning to trust has been the greatest gift.
