In this episode of In the Zone, we sit down with Sydney, founder of Young & Sober, to talk about what it really means to choose clarity in a culture that glorifies chaos. At just 24, Sydney made the life-altering decision to get sober after realizing alcohol and drugs were no longer numbing the pain — they were deepening it. Eight months into recovery, she shares what the turning point looked like, what early sobriety actually feels like, and why healing is rarely linear. This conversation is not about perfection. It’s about honesty. It’s about boundaries. It’s about rebuilding identity and discovering that strength sometimes looks quiet. If you are sober, sober-curious, struggling, or simply trying to live with more intention, this episode is for you.There is hope. There is community. And there is power in choosing yourself. If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of self-harm or feeling unsafe, please seek immediate support. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. You are not alone. More at www.youngsober.com
