In this Seasonal Episode, Kate talks to the sober legend and host of the original recovery podcast The Bubble Hour, Jean McCarthy.

Jean McCarthy is an award-winning recovery blogger, author and podcast host from Alberta, Canada. Jean has spent much of the past decade sharing her story in her blog UnPickled, holding space for others on The Bubble Hour Podcast, and writing books about the lessons learned along the way.

Jean is a long term advocate of recovery. She is a poet and author of the Unpickled Holiday Guide and today she shares some top tips for surviving the holiday period and Christmas with grace and good humour. Jean is also a mother, wife, daughter and grandmother and shares that wisdom with us too.
