I Got Sober on Accident with Rachel LaForce

We talk a lot about reinvention — but we don’t talk enough about the patterns we carry into every new beginning.

 

In this episode of Nothing Pretty, Dr. Raquel Hammonds is joined by Rachel LaForce for a vulnerable, witty, and grounded conversation about accidental sobriety, self-defeating loops, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. Together, they unpack humor as armor, intuition in the loudest era, and what it really costs to choose yourself when the old patterns stop working.

 

This isn’t a conversation about having it all figured out. It’s about telling the truth in the messy middle, building self-trust one moment at a time, and realizing that healing doesn’t have to look pretty to be real.

 

If you’ve been feeling stuck, behind, or caught in the same cycle — this episode is an invitation to pause, listen closer, and take your next brave step.
