In this deeply reflective episode, Evie sits down with James Quigley for an honest conversation about growth, healing, and the messy, beautiful process of becoming who we’re meant to be. They unpack childhood lessons, generational wisdom, and how today’s shifting definitions of success and community impact our sense of self.
Together, they explore the sober movement’s role in personal development, the challenge of building real relationships in a transactional world, and the tension between longevity and actually living. James shares powerful insights on fatherhood, mental health, and the importance of simply listening—to ourselves, our children, and the people around us.
This episode is a reminder that we’re all imperfect, evolving, and learning as we go. It’s about choosing authenticity over appearance, connection over performance, and grace over perfection. Whether you're navigating your own healing or just craving real talk about life, this one’s for you.
