Sobertown Podcast EP 269: Rehab Barbie Creator Claire Comai sits with Polly
Polly sits with Claire Comai who developed a wonderful sober resource, Rehabbarbie.com where she takes her passion for fashion in a direction that makes her proud of her sobriety and celebrates recovery. Removing the stigma surrounding mental health and addiction and helping show how proud we are of our recovery.
Who We AreRehab Barbie is a brand born from REAL people and their REAL journeys of recovery from addiction and mental illness. Our aim is to create a collection that celebrates and inspires recovery in others.
Our StoryRehab Barbie is founded on the principal that dealing with mental illness and addiction is not something to be ashamed of. Like any other disease or condition that effects humankind, these illnesses are a product of disordered function in our body. In those who suffer from heart disease, diabetes or cancer, the disease attacks the body's heart, pancreas or cells. In mental illness and addiction, the disease attacks the brain. Yet, a cloud of stigma and shame often surrounding diseases like addiction, depression, schizophrenia, PTSD, bipolar disorder and eating disorders, often leaving those who suffer from them unable or unwilling to seek out treatments that could save their lives.
Our brand is about shedding the anonymity and speaking out against the stigma. Recovery is something to celebrated, not kept secret. We’re here to commemorate everyone who has ever struggled and won against these diseases and to inspire and support those still sick, still suffering and STILL fighting. Whatever your journey may be, wherever you are in it, we hope you’ll share it with us.
