Episode 33: Apryl Jones (@aprylsjones)

July 08, 2025 • Kristen Bear

Hey y'all!

I'm so excited to share my conversation with mega-talented creative artist, Apryl Jones. Apryl is an actor and singer based in Los Angeles, CA who has appeared in productions like The Comeback with Taye Diggs, I Got A Story To Tell on BET, and Tyler Perry's The Oval.

Apryl just celebrated one year of sobriety in June of this year, so we dove into what led her to her choice to get sober, how she did it, and how it's changed her.

We talk about the grief of losing a parent, the glow-up that comes with ditching booze for good, the shift in relationships and social circles when we stop drinking, and how Apryl is navigating the entertainment industry with her newfound focus on healing and wellness.

I loved this chat so much and I just know that there are golden nuggets of inspiration in here for so many people. Apryl is such a beautiful person, inside and out, and I hope you enjoy this episode!
