You Stopped Drinking, Now Stop Sucking!

In this episode of “Shrink This!,” Lisa is joined by her friend, comedian Beau McDowell, to talk about something people hate more than getting sober: accepting themselves as-is. From crooked teeth and body-image spirals to the delusion that fixing one thing will magically fix your whole life, they break down why the real work isn’t perfection—it’s acceptance. Beau opens up about getting sober, swapping addictions, and realizing that, even without booze, you’re still unfortunately you, while Celia chimes in as they get into why people obsess over tiny “flaws,” and why chasing a glow-up is often just avoiding the real issue. If you’ve ever thought, “once I fix this one thing, I’ll finally feel okay,” this episode is here to lovingly destroy that fantasy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
