The Sunday Sweet Edit | No. 54

Suzanne continues her push to turn this into a Nirvana podcast by sharing the 35th anniversary of the live debut of Smells Like Teen Spirit, and it sounds a little… different. Jay also recalls an anniversary, but this one is darker – the 31st anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing. Then, Jay helps us remember Jessie Spano of Saved By The Bell’s ‘caffeine pill’ addiction, and Suzanne updates us on the sentencing of The Ketamine Queen in the death of Matthew Perry. Plus – Jay and Suzanne share grade school assignments their mom found in the attic, the etymology of ‘riding shotgun’, the behind-the-scenes drama that Marcel the Monkey caused on Friends, and Friends character rankings. Follow Jay on Instagram & Twitter, and Suzanne on Instagram! 

Kelley Kitley grew up in a world where alcohol wasn’t only normalized… it was the family business. As a kid, she lived above her family’s bar and she could not wait until she was old enough to experience what this drinking thing was all about. Now a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of sobriety under her belt, Kelley helps women navigate their own relationships with sobriety, and she gets it. We talk about the ways in which alcohol was central to Kelley’s family life growing up, her attempts to ‘dodge the bullet’ of addiction by studying psychology, the mental strain of moderation, her experiences in and opinions of AA, her excellent memoir MY Self, and what it was like to go public with her personal story as a psychologist. Follow Kelley on Instagram @kelleykitleyCommunity makes all the difference.
