Q+A with Lauren McQuistin

A live Q+A replay with Lauren McQuistin (@brutalrecovery) and Millie Gooch. All about exploring what it truly means to come home to yourself - especially after years of escapism, self-doubt, or feeling like you’re too far gone to change.

Lauren will also be diving into the themes of her debut book No Lost Causes Club - an honest, hopeful exploration of healing, identity, and rebuilding your relationship with yourself.

In this Q&A, Lauren & Millie will cover the following key topics:

-Nothing changes if nothing changes 
- Looking inwards &  living with the past 
- Managing escapism & looking outwards
- Navigating sex, love and dating when sober
