Description

She had her first drink at age thirteen and and her last one at age twenty eight, and in between she discovered two important things about herself; she was gay, and she was an alcoholic.
To almost everyone around her, Author Swan Huntley was responsible, organized and accountable, little did they know about the mess she was concealing, not just from them, but from herself.
But what would you do if after “coming out,” you admitted to your brother that it might be time to look at your drinking, and he unexpectedly agreed with you? Would you continue on as if you’d never heard him? Or would you decide that it was finally time to really get clean?

Hosted by Laura Cathcart Robbins, a writer and a recovery thriver and survivor, Laura found herself in an all too familiar position. In September 2018, she was the only black woman in the room at Brave Magic, a famed writer’s retreat. After it was over, she wrote about her “only one” experience in The Huffington Post and comments started flooding into her DM. These comments were from people from all races, ethnicities, creeds, and nationalities who had felt “othered”. Laura beautifully interviews a person about their Only One story each episode and addresses as many of those DM’s as possible in the process. In this podcast, you’ll hear raw, vulnerable accounts from people who are, like most of us, just eager to connect. Our hope is that The Only One In The Room will inspire a change of perspective in how we all see and hear each other’s stories. We want you think twice before judging the person standing next to you at a party, in the pick-up line at school or in a crowded subway car. This is a podcast for anyone who has ever felt alone in a room full of people – which is to say, that this podcast is for everyone.
