This is fantasic!! ❤️ It made me laugh but also had great content. Real answers, great insights. "Embracing who you were before you started drinking." And your responses to Pooh's question about his honey addiction!! 🍯

What a creative avenue for an interview! It showcases why I'm so excited to read your book - your creativity and wit paired with wisdom.

I'd love to see a series of interviews with all kinds of characters. Maybe Big Bird or Oscar the Grouch - maybe Kermit the Frog or Miss Piggy? I'd absolutely listen to your interviews with them all!

I listened to this today - smiled, laughed and felt very understood. I forgot that your therapist once tried to get you to moderate - to fix the “all of nothingness” of it all.

My therapist recently asked me why “all or nothing” is my take on life. I want her to listen to this.

I love your approach to everything, Julie. You’re fresh and true to you every time you write or speak.

Thank you for listening and for sharing that about your therapist. I think some of us just go through seasons of putting it “all” into one thing that really lights us up, and maybe it borders on obsession sometimes. But maybe that’s okay!

Yes! My take, my vote is that it is ok!

So I listened to this on my way home from work tonight and I absolutely loved it. It was witty and adorable. And chock full of sober wisdom, especially for those in early sobriety. Good questions. AI.

And WTP’s voice. Heart melt. Who doesn’t love WTP?

I’d definitely listen to more WTP podcasts. Please do another one when your book comes out. Gah!! A week from today. Woot! Exciting. Are you a wreck? I’d also like to hear from your sister or hear her interview you.

Okay thank you for giving me the positive feedback I was craving. I am a wreck, and publishing a book has given me so many extra things to be constantly checking! Fun. The great thing is that I still have my dumb little light phone, so I’m not carrying a checking device in my pocket at all times. I think it would be fun to make an episode with my sis. She’s actually the funny one.

You’re welcome. Of course you’re a wreck. Your baby is coming out into the world in a matter of days. I’m glad you still have the dumb phone. If your sister is the funny one, then you definitely need to collaborate.

I feel like it's only logical for me to interview you next.

Did you also know he has a podcast about writing and addiction? Not that we have a large audience, and we're shit at promoting it, but we have some friends. Yes, I'm serious.

Nice! It won't be for a week or so because I'm out of town for a few days, but if you could, shoot me an email to crsarmy7@gmail.com. We can get you scheduled that way.

Dude he’s one of my oldest and dearest friends. I can’t believe I never name-dropped him before.
