Hear art-therapy non-profit founder and recovered substance abuser Lisa Schmidt talk about moving at a young age with her mother and brother across the country, why she chose Texas and the deep football culture she found there, knowing she was gay since second grade and why suppressing that led her to later seek out religion in her twenties, the 17 years she was married to a man--and mother of two children--and as well as working with the church and the story of how that all came crashing down, what rock bottom looked like and how she began to pull herself up again, what led to the creation of The Sober Hipster and later You Matter, Your Story Matters, how she met her wife and eventually moved to Portland, and much more!
