In this open-hearted and empowering episode of We Recover Loudly, host Shell sits down with Camille Vidal, a globally renowned bartender, wellness educator, and founder of La Maison Wellness. Together they explore what it means to live, lead, and drink more mindfully.

Camille shares her journey from growing up in a vibrant, creative home in the South of France to becoming a global spirits ambassador, living life on planes, behind bars, and in hotel rooms more than her own flat. But behind the glamour came burnout, disconnection, and a craving for balance that eventually led her to yoga, meditation, and a whole new way of showing up in the world and in the drinks industry.

Together, Shell and Camille unpack the spectrum of mindful drinking, the unspoken pressures of hospitality culture, and the subtle but significant grief that can come with losing an identity — whether it’s through giving up alcohol or walking away from a career. They explore the social rituals we build around booze, the importance of creating inclusive drinking spaces, and why the hospitality industry desperately needs a culture shift.

Camille’s message is clear: you don’t have to hit rock bottom to change your relationship with alcohol, and recovery can mean coming home to yourself before you even realise you’ve left.

Whether you’re curious about mindful drinking, craving more balance, or questioning your own rituals, this conversation is packed with compassion, nuance, and plenty of food (and drinks) for thought.
