Episode 59- My Pre-conversation with Paul Drayton about His Memoir, Ride, Or Die Trying.

In this episode, I had a great conversation with Paul Drayton about his memoir Ride, or Die Trying. We talked about his battle with alcohol and being a people pleaser throughout his whole life. We talked about his marriage and divorce from comedian Alan Carr. He was very candid account of addiction recovery, accountability, grief, a late ADHD diagnosis at 50, and rebuilding his life. How did the drinking addiction almost ruin his life and career? How has his healing and recovery journey led him to rebuilding, and he is now in a much happier place? We talked about how being a people pleaser and lowering yourself is ruining so many people's lives. How being a people pleaser starts from childhood based on trying to please our parents and living up to their expectations. He also talks plainly about making peace with past mistakes, not being defined by public opinion, and rebuilding self-worth without dressing it up. There’s humour and honesty in the way he reflects on chaos, identity, loss, and starting over. People do not understand the damage that being a people pleaser causes to all aspects of your life, health, and wellness. It was a very enlightening conversation that I wanted you guys to hear. We will be doing a part two to that conversation soon. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-old-you-vs-the-new-you-podcast--5273633/support.
