In this episode of the SobahSistahs Podcast, I sit down with Sarah Treacy, better known as @TheSoberSherpa, founder of the Sober Adventure Collective and visionary behind Sobriety is the New Epic.

Sarah’s story is one of bold change and radical honesty. After two decades in corporate marketing, she made the life-changing decision to quit drinking in 2020 during COVID—a moment that gave her the space to reflect on the red flags she had ignored for too long. Now, she’s on a mission to prove that recovery isn’t boring, isolating, or restrictive—it’s adventurous, connected, and full of purpose.

We dive into what those first 90 days of sobriety really feel like, the joys and challenges of sharing your journey publicly, and how building a supportive sober community can transform not only your recovery but your life. Sarah also shares about her mentorship programs, retreats, and the global Sobriety is the New Epic speaker series that’s inspiring thousands to reimagine what alcohol-free living can look like.
