Introduction: In this episode of Finding New Waters, B. Reeves sits down with Robbie Shaw and Patrick Balsley, the hosts of Champagne Problems, the number one rated podcast by Charlotte Magazine. They discuss the complexities of addiction and mental health, as well as their experiences working in the recovery and wellness space.
Summary: Robbie and Patrick work in private practices where they serve people who are either in recovery or looking to be in recovery. They also host Champagne Problems, a podcast that positions itself in the wellness space, discussing how addiction and substance abuse affect wellness goals such as sleep, productivity, relationships, and parenting. They talk about the sober curious movement and how it's becoming more prevalent among younger generations, with more people recognizing that alcohol can negatively impact their overall wellbeing.
They also touch on the importance of articulating the dynamics of addiction and substance abuse in a more health and wellness-focused way, rather than using stigmatizing and shame-based language.
