CHRIS OLSEN: “It’s Rehab or You Lose Us” - My Family Made Me Choose

Описание: Chris Olsen is one of the biggest social media stars in the world. He joined the platform in 2020 and quickly became a viral sensation. I’ve admired him for a long time - his social media content is so funny, honest, and just impossible to scroll past.

But what I didn’t fully appreciate until this conversation was just how much he’s been through to get to where he is today.

Chris opens up about getting sober at 19 - before he’d ever had a legal drink - and the intervention that forced him into an impossible choice: choosing between his family and alcohol.

We cover:
His journey to sobriety and what it’s taught him
The heartbreaking moment his mum told him she was an alcoholic
How he handles online criticism without it defining him
The best advice Meghan Trainor ever gave him
How Chris met his new boyfriend Harrison

This conversation is about choosing yourself, even when it’s hard, and about building a life that feels worth protecting.

Chris Olsen is Great Company.
