Madeleine Shaw on sobriety and social change

 In this week's podcast episode, Club Soda founder Laura Willoughby, herself an advocate of social change, talks to Madeleine Shaw, a social entrepreneur from Vancouver, Canada.Madeleine talks candidly about how being a strong advocate for social change can also mean coming from an anti-authoritarian background. Being rebellious at a young age linked Madeleine with alcohol - "drinking was kind of a bad-ass thing that was bound up with rebellion".  But as both Laura and Madeleine agree, when you become an advocate for social change, the rebellious act of harmful drinking can morph into something that looks sophisticated and quasi-cultural but is just as problematic.This discord between behaviour and values, about how we present ourselves versus how we actually feel, caused both women to impact community and social sectors in ways they never thought imaginable.Our podcast is available on all your favourite podcasting platforms, like Apple, Google and Spotify.
