Jodi Gordon on shame, sobriety and starting over

We do, and I think it's naturally taken shape.

I didn't even realize when I was creating this company.

Recovery for me is this invisible thread that runs through all of us, and we have a very personalized experience with it individually, whether it's substance, whether it's alcohol, whether it's a breakup, a divorce, grieving a loved one, rupture, repair.

So we're not bounded by all these constraints and judgment and stigma around it because we can all get well together or we can all grow together or we can all heal together, you know.

you know, the things that we're challenged with across the board, it just doesn't discriminate at all.

And I'm like, that guy or that woman, that person's also sitting in icebergs, you know, like, and or she's like an actress on television or she's
