Addiction, Recovery and Brain Cancer… All by 36 with Abi Feltham

from The Weird Years · host Lydia Vornweg

What if by 36 you’d already overcome more than you ever thought possible?This week I’m joined by Abi Feltham - content creator, comedian (although she doesn't admit that), and unfiltered storyteller - whose life has been anything but linear. After years of self-destruction through alcohol and drugs, Abi achieved sobriety at 32… only to face an incurable brain cancer diagnosis just four years later.Abi shares it all, from the chaos of teenage angst, to the breakdown that finally led her to therapy, to the “sinus infection” that turned out to be a tumour. We dive into the cycles of her addiction, what resilience really looks like, and how she’s learned to choose self-compassion after decades of self-loathing.For anyone who’s ever felt like their thirties aren’t going to plan and needs a reminder that it’s possible to rebuild after collapse, this one's for you. ✨ Follow Abi at @abi.feltham📲 Follow us on Instagram: @theweirdyearspodcast🚀 New episodes every Tuesday – hit subscribe to stay weird
