Description

Comedian, actress, and activist Margaret Cho opens up about her 19 months in rehab, her sobriety journey, and how Korean culture, fame, and addiction intersected in her life. From using music and EMDR therapy to heal, to discussing phone anxiety, text therapy, and relapse fears, Margaret shares a deeply human and relatable path to recovery.

 

We also talk about the pressures of perfectionism, the silence around addiction in Asian communities, and how she's embraced aging, activism, and self-acceptance through comedy, style, and spiritual practice.

 

If you're navigating sobriety, identity, or just love raw, honest conversations—this one's for you.
