In this episode, I'm joined by Sean Daniels - internationally acclaimed theatre director, playwright, and artistic visionary - who has become one of the most powerful voices in the recovery movement. Sean’s work fuses art and activism, using theatre as a catalyst for healing and connection in the fight against addiction.

From his celebrated play The White Chip - a New York Times Critics Pick produced Off-Broadway by Hollywood names like Hank Azaria and Jason Biggs - to his pioneering role as Director of the Recovery Arts Project, Sean shares how storytelling can save lives. He opens up about relapse, stigma, and what it means to live a life in recovery that’s full of purpose and artistic passion.

We talk about:

• The power of art in addiction recovery
• Why The White Chip resonates with audiences worldwide
• How to turn lived experience into meaningful impact
• The stigma around relapse, and what we can do about it
• Hope, theatre, and transformation

🕊️ Hosted by me, Lucy Rocca, founder of Soberistas and long-time sober coach, the Soberistas "Empowered By Sobriety" Podcast explores the real stories behind addiction, identity, and the journey home to yourself.
