Alongside running a dough empire, Georgia Gomez, a writer and half the brains behind Papo’s Bagels, is also the long-suffering friend of Anna Wolfe, a feat more impressive than any bake. In this episode, Georgia, who’s been sober for over a decade, shares her story of getting sober in New York, learning to look after herself again, punch-ups, and why you shouldn’t lock yourself in a guy’s apartment and refuse to leave.
The two also get into listener confessions, from Star Trek sensuality to the perils of misplaced M&S knickers.
Live long and prosper.

musician with tones so docile you’ll lose your mind. Lauren speaks with brutal honesty (get it?) about what led her to sobriety and dating tales galore.
You’ll hear about the love bug becoming a drug, why Lauren cooked a hookup a juicy leg of lamb, and why dating a man with a velcro wallet is a rock bottom in itself.
Enjoy.

Journalist, lover, and several years into recovery from both alcohol and an eating disorder, Anna Wolfe brings personal experience to discussions about relationships and recovery.
