In this episode of The ARC- The Addiction Recovery Cast, Paul speaks to Kate.
 
Paul had the expectation of having a gentle conversation early in this episode about how Kate has managed through lockdown. All very ho-hum on his part...

The ARC is about the complexities, triumphs and sorrows that come with people, the show takes a huge turn from Paul's expectations, when Kate discusses the recent passing of her Oma (Grandmother) and how Covid 19 lockdown laws and interstate travel restrictions prevented Kate from attending her grandmother’s funeral. Kate also discusses a time in her early teens where, as Paul can only describe, as a betrayal from her friendship group.

Kate talks about how she has processed and responded to these issues in Recovery with a grace, clarity and compassion that comes with someone who is living the steps, and refers to her reading from Mark Manson's bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck.
