SHE RECOVERS Podcast
The SHE RECOVERS® Podcast is a series of intimate and candid conversations exploring the diverse and deeply personal world of recovery. Join co-founder Taryn Strong and other SHE RECOVERS team members and their guests for heartfelt, thought-provoking, and sometimes hilarious discussions where women share their experiences with mental health challenges, addiction, sobriety, trauma, grief, burnout, and more. Each conversation opens into collective wisdom and courageous vulnerability, shared by people whose lives are enriched by following their own unique pathways and patchworks of recovery. The atmosphere is inclusive and non-judgmental, with truth taking center stage. If you’re seeking deeper connection and empowerment on your recovery journey, you belong here.
SHE RECOVERS Foundation is both a non-profit public charity in Canada and the US and a global grassroots movement serving thousands of women and non-binary individuals in or seeking recovery from life challenges, including mental health issues, trauma, and substance use.
SHE RECOVERS is dedicated to redefining recovery, inspiring hope, ending stigma, and empowering women to increase their recovery capital, heal themselves, and help others to do the same.

Episode 41: Mrs. D Is Going Without with Lotta Dann
Lotta Dann used to describe herself as a "boozy housewife." For two decades she drank alcohol steadily and heavily. In 2011, alarmed at how her drinking was escalating, she started the anonymous blog 'Mrs. D Is Going Without' and eventually wrote her way into recovery and community.
In this episode of the SHE RECOVERS podcast, Erin talks with Lotta about what she has gained in recovery, as well as areas where she still struggles, including her "ongoing battle" with flour and sugar. They also discuss how the current Covid-19 lockdown has created conditions that are both perfect and incredibly challenging for those living in and just beginning recovery. Lotta shares her belief that in this moment of collective grief, showing kindness to ourselves and each other is more important more ever.
