In this episode of The Sober Curator, host Alysse Bryson sits down with Nashville native, filmmaker, musician and USA Boxing Masters Champion Sabyn Mayfield. Sabyn shares his raw and inspiring journey through addiction, multiple relapses and ultimately finding lasting recovery by confronting his "woundedness" and embracing a life of service. The conversation delves into the power of honest self-reflection, amends, creative expression in sobriety and redefining success beyond public opinion.
