Healing Through Comedy: Sobriety, Womanhood, & Self-Acceptance with Kyla Cobbler #045 (Rerelease)

This week we’re revisiting one of our most popular episodes from August 2023, with comedian Kyla Cobbler for an honest and powerful conversation about life, love, and healing. Kyla shares her journey to sobriety, the struggles she faced along the way, and how comedy became a lifeline in navigating challenges. We discuss the realities of dating while sober, the societal expectations placed on women, and the importance of open conversations about women's health.

Kyla’s story is one of resilience, self-discovery, and embracing life on her own terms. She reflects on the role of self-love, the impact of community, and why laughter is one of the best tools for healing. We also chat about our upcoming event Viva La Vulva, a unique blend of comedy and education tackling topics often ignored in women’s health. This is a powerful episode filled with humour, honesty, and deep insights into personal growth. Tune in for a conversation that is as entertaining as it is inspiring!

If you’ve been affected by sexual violence or abuse, support is available. Women’s Aid offers a 24/7 Freephone Helpline at 1800 341 900 or visit womensaid.ie. You are not alone.
