We Recover Loudly - Serving Essential Hospitality Conversations
Welcome to We Recover Loudly the podcast.
In season one, the mission was to spark conversations about addiction, recovery, and drinking cultures within hospitality. What we found was that these topics are closely linked to much bigger issues that we face in the industry, which truly deserve our attention and a space to be discussed. The podcast has evolved to delve into important matters surrounding addiction and recovery, as well as significant themes like burnout, sexual harassment, gender imbalance, mental health, chronic illness, stress, and eating disorders—the list goes on! This podcast isn’t just for individuals in recovery from drugs and alcohol working in hospitality; it’s for anyone who has dealt with challenges, tough working conditions, or health issues related to their experiences in this industry, who want to hear inspiring stories of strength and recovery.
Each episode features a mix of personal stories from myself and other incredible individuals who are currently in the industry or connected to the industry via a mental health space. We engage in conversations with hospitality leaders who are paving the way in providing training and resources to cultivate healthy workplace environments for their teams. This podcast aims to be a welcoming platform for everyone to share the challenges they've faced while working in hospitality and how they’ve overcome them... loudly!
So, let's turn it up and get loud, because when we recover loudly we stop others dying quietly.

S2 Episode 014 - Laura Louise Green - From Running on Empty to a Healthy Pour
In this week's episode, I sat down with the hilarious and incredibily intellectual Laura Louise Green, the founder of Healthy Pour. Healthy Pour is an organisation based in Chicago who focus on improving the mental health and well being of individuals in the workplace. Laura is a trained psychotherapist, and organizational consultant. It was shortly after receiving her license to practice as a psychotherapist, that the death of Anthony Bourdain prompted her to turn her sights on the hospitality industry and to provide free psychoeducation to the community at large. Since then, Healthy Pour has expanded to service all workspaces and industries, with a fondness for creative, high-pressure, working environments.
We discussed –
- Trauma bonding and how that influence’s our decision on where we work.
- The impact of childhood experiences on our adult life decisions.
- How making small changes can have a massive ripple affect on the way people experience their work and therefore how they go on to enjoy their down time.
- The failed opportunities we had to reset as an industry after the pandemic.
- How to build trust in the workplace
Laura is a powerhouse of information and her passion for change is not only infectious, but vitally needed at this time in the industry. Check out the amazing work she does on the website and follow her on socials.
