In this episode, I sit down with Carl Radke for an honest conversation about sobriety, grief, and what it’s really like behind the scenes of Bravo’s Summer House. Carl opens up about his journey with addiction that led to his sobriety, how he dealt with survivor’s guilt after his brother’s passing, and how writing his memoir, Cake Eater, helped him find healing. We talk about the realities of being sober in a partying environment, the highs and lows of reality TV and being on camera, how Carl navigates friendship and fame, and finding purpose after hitting rock bottom.
