In this episode of the "Eternally Amy" podcast, Amy welcomes guest Lisa Schmidt, also known as the Sober Hipster. Lisa shares her powerful journey, navigating addiction and her hidden identity. Raised in Texas after her parents' divorce, she excelled academically but turned to drugs and alcohol to hide her true self. Lisa found solace in religion, but her struggles persisted until a life-changing moment during a mission trip in Cairo.
