Walk with Breezy Nowlan: Creating Space for Belonging

After getting sober in her twenties, Breezy Nowlan found herself navigating the often-complicated world of recovery housing. That experience led her to create Taste Recovery, a platform that helps people find safe and supportive sober living options across the United States. But as the platform grew, something still felt missing. In this episode of Rooted, Breezy shares the question from her father that changed the course of her work: What do you love to do? The answer led her outdoors and eventually inspired Camp Sober Fest—a unique recovery community experience that combines camp activities, connection, personal growth, and belonging. Together, we explore the role of community in recovery, why environment matters, what happens when people feel safe enough to be themselves, and the courage it takes to create something that doesn't yet exist. While nature isn't the central focus of this conversation, it quietly supports the experiences Breezy has created—offering space for connection, play, challenge, and transformation. In this episode, you'll hear: How Taste Recovery began from Breezy's own recovery journey What sober living is and why it matters The story behind Camp Sober Fest Why belonging is such an important part of healing How play, challenge, and shared experiences build connection The simple question that helped Breezy discover her purpose Connect with Breezy Nowlan Taste Recovery: https://www.tasterecovery.com Camp Sober Fest: https://www.campsoberfest.com Instagram: @taste.recovery Connect with Rooted Website: www.rootedsoulliving.com  Instagram: @susanmorganbailey If you enjoyed this conversation, please follow, rate, and review Rooted.
