Episode 21: Andrea Howard (@andreahoward_tn)

May 19, 2023 • Kristen Bear

Hey y'all! Welcome back, so happy to bring you an all new episode today with the lovely Andrea Howard.
Andrea's sober date is 1/1/23. She is 31 years young and a former NFL cheerleader who currently works as a model and actress based in Nashville, TN. Andrea and I actually have the same talent agent so we talk a lot about the industry and how sobriety is necessary to keep your competitive edge. She shares her journey to sobriety with us, acknowledging the role childhood trauma plays in our choices to numb and escape vulnerable emotions. Andrea's story is unique in the sense that she knew she wanted to quit drinking for a long time, but kept partaking in social scenarios despite no real desire to drink. This one may be for you if you're not necessarily a problem drinker but have a gut feeling that it may be time to eliminate substances completely to reach a higher level in life.
This conversation is so fun! We discuss everything from acting class to dating and I hope you find some inspiration from Andrea's story. I know I did!

ALSO!!! Spots are filling up for the Costa Rica trip in October, so please reach out if you're interested in booking or have any questions. As always, follow me on Instagram for more details and to stay connected to all things @CREATIVESOBRIETY
