A Conversation with Sweta Sansara, Advocate Against the Stigmas Surrounding Alcoholism, Addictions and Mental Health

Sweta Sansara, a Nepalese woman, is a passionate advocate against the stigmas surrounding alcoholism, mental health, food addiction, and related issues. With 17 years of sobriety and profound personal healing, she is dedicated to sharing her journey to inspire and support others in their paths to mental wellness and holistic healing.

Sweta is the first person from Nepal to join the U.S. armed forces. She joined the U.S. Marines at age 18 and spent two and a half years serving the United States. She then studied theater and pursued an acting career in Los Angeles, while working at the tony Beverly Hills Hotel, attending Oscar parties, meeting Diana Ross, John Stamos, Stanley Tucci and other big names in the business, before feeling called to return to the east coast, where her immediate family resides.

Sweta shares the darkest parts of her journey and relatable experiences online that give thousands of people hope. She offers resources to those struggling with addiction, and will start her own podcast, Wild & Free in Recovery, in April 2024.

Sweta, who begins each day sitting in meditation, is raising two wonderful children in the Washington, DC area. She is the founder of the Nepal Youth Fund, which brings resources to schools in small villages of Nepal, and on whose board I serve. My life, and those of many others, are blessed having Sweta in their lives.
