In this episode, we’re joined by Steve Joyce, a talented food and drink photographer, who shares his raw and inspiring story of transformation. From using alcohol as a way to fit in during his school years to escaping through the chaos of the Bristol rave scene, Steve opens up about how substances became his go-to for masking pain and finding belonging.
Steve talks candidly about how the rave scene, with its music and energy, provided temporary relief but ultimately left him feeling more disconnected from himself and his purpose. It wasn’t until he discovered his passion for photography that he began to see the life he truly wanted to create—and the role sobriety played in making it a reality.
