From Southern Baptist to Booze Luge with Laura House

You guys—this episode. I got to sit down with the hilarious and soulful Laura House, and we went deep. Like, therapy but with jokes deep. We talked about addiction, of course, but also about what it was like being an intense, over-feeling, approval-seeking kid who just wanted boys to like her and adults to lay off. Laura tells the story of how she went from being a church girl in Texas to drinking wine coolers in Norway and journaling about it like a drunk teenage Hemingway. Then there’s the part where she lands a show on MTV and still feels like a total mess. We talk about the relentless need for more—more love, more sugar, more songs on repeat—and what it actually took for her to stop running from her life.You’re going to laugh, maybe cry, and definitely feel seen. And yes—there’s a part two.
