S3 Episode 03 Neil Hudson-Basing Recovering Loudly … People-Pleasing, Neurodivergence, and the Freedom of Sobriety
In this powerful new episode of We Recover Loudly, host Shell is joined by Neil Hudson Basing. Neil is a mental health advocate, Pause and Rewind podcast host, and co-founder of House of Happiness, a regular sober event redefining alcohol-free joy.
Together, they explore what sober living without addiction looks like, diving into the impact of neurodivergence, burnout, and people-pleasing on mental health. Neil shares his experience navigating life as a queer, neurodivergent person in recovery, and how choosing sobriety wasn’t about rock bottomfor him. Rather it was about wanting radical self-connection.
From challenging the myth that sobriety is boring to building joyful, inclusive spaces without alcohol, this conversation is full of truth, laughter, and powerful takeaways about identity, boundaries, and reclaiming your joy.
Whether you’re sober-curious, navigating mental exhaustion, or looking to build community without alcohol, this episode will leave you feeling seen, validated, and inspired.
