In this hilariously honest and deeply human conversation, Emmy-winning hostย Cat Greenleafย joins Alysse to spill all the sober teaโfrom peeing her pants during a double-booking with Tom Arnold and Art Alexakis, to discovering what sobriety actually looks like when you're no longer a โlone wolf.โ Cat opens up about service, creativity, aging, friendship with Pee-wee Herman,ย crafting onย cocaine, and the real emotional glow-up that happens when you stop pretending and start living. This episode is equal parts chaos, charm, confessions, and zero-proof realness.ย ย
Takeaways:ย Sobriety gets richer when you stop isolating and start connecting with people who speak your language.ย
Catโs shift from โlone wolfโ to community deepened her recoveryโand her sanity.ย
Golden-age celebrity stories? Yes please. Especially ones involving Pee-wee Herman sending hourly birthday messages.ย
Creativity, addiction, and reinvention always have a wild intersection (including cocaine-fueled stenciling).ย
โZero fucks givenโ remains a valid business planโand a liberating way to live.ย
