The holidays can feel like a perfect storm — emotionally, mentally, and physically. In this timely and deep conversation, Surviving the Holiday Bermuda Triangle: Dry January & the 12 Steps—Kerry Brett is joined once again by comedian, mom, and nearly nine-year-sober Laurie Hurd Ferreira for part two of their series on the 12 Steps — and why they’re not just for recovery, but for anyone craving peace, and real change.
Together, they unpack what Laurie calls the Holiday Bermuda Triangle—Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s — a season that amplifies loneliness, temptation, comparison, and emotional overwhelm. With humor, honesty, and hard-earned wisdom, Laurie explains how the 12 Steps offer a practical framework for sobriety, self-trust, and community support — especially during the holidays or as Dry January is upon us. Or in moments when willpower alone isn’t enough.
This episode isn’t about perfection or labels. It’s about transformation — the desire to change, to slow down, to stop repeating patterns, and to choose a different way forward, one day at a time.
