Coast to Coast Cocktails

We're back!!! Just in time to cover the Netflix holiday film that shook the nation with its wholesome (?) return of Lindsay Lohan! Thank you to Corinne for being on this return ep with me, and thank you to any and all who listen!!!!

Hey everyone! Some of you are familiar with our parent podcast, And What Did We Learn?, and some of you are not! I wanted to take this opportunity to share a popular episode from that feed (featuring Betsy!) that focuses on a different type of topic than we usually cover over here on coast to coast: addiction and recovery.  I'm posting this to announce that And What Did We Learn? is coming back to produce more episodes on Intervention, My Strange Addiction, Strange Sex, and more!  What shows and topics do you want to hear about? Check out this episode and then let us know! DM us on our studio Instagram, @andwhatdidwelearnstudios, and follow us for news about upcoming episodes on all 3 of our shows, as well as on our PATREON and our youtube channel! Please also check out our studio's growing patreon! Patreon.com/andwhatdidwelearnstudios Studio website and blogs for each show coming soon!!! OG DESCRIPTION:Join Sarah and Betsy as they navigate this dynamic episode that covers a lot of traumas (TRIGGER WARNING for drug use, verbal abuse, IV drug use, alcohol, and weed) and the dangerous dynamics of addicts becoming parents and leaning into generational addiction (as well as the dangers of alcohol and speed, for obvious reasons). From https://intervention-directory.com/ : Pamela Age: 36 Location: Montreal, Quebec Addiction: Alcohol, Speed Official Synopsis: When Pamela’s mother remarried, Pamela thought she’d finally regained the father figure she’d been missing for most of her life. But it was a short-lived dream as friction between Pamela and her stepfather forced her to leave the home in search of her long-lost father. Adding layers to Pamela’s plight, while living with her biological father she was further traumatized by exposure to his drug addiction. Surrounded by drugs and with no responsible adult to guide her, Pamela quickly turned to a life of partying and drugs. It wasn’t until Pamela had a son that she found purpose and sobriety. But because she had only a vague idea of what a stable family looked like, Pamela found motherhood a struggle and turned back to the one thing in her life that was consistent: alcohol and drugs. Now she’s estranged from her child, and her family fear that without a successful intervention, Pamela’s future is in serious doubt. What’s Memorable: How nice and accommodating her family is to her and how they really avoid the hard conversations. Like there are zero family fights in this whole episode, that’s unheard of!  Jesse’s focus on ending the multigenerational cycle of addiction & neglect with Pam’s own son seemed to be a super effective angle to use with her. Great follow up, so glad to hear voice healing once she got out of that life. Interventionist: Jesse Hanson Date Aired: June 7 2021  (Aired as Intervention Canada Season 5 Episode 5, on Oct 13, 2018) Follow Betsy at @Betskell on instagram!
