Euphoric Alcohol-Free

Janey Lee Grace is in the biz. She’s been a singer, BBC radio presenter, and author of multiple books on holistic health and natural living. Though it wasn’t until she ditched the booze that she truly stepped into her fullest health, happiness, and self-love. When Janey stopped drinking, she was surprised to learn that it didn’t feel like giving something up but rather like she was gaining everything. Sobriety felt so good! It was the missing piece to her healthy holistic lifestyle and has upped her vibe and bravery. With a TED Talk titled, Sobriety Rocks, Who Knew? Janey is changing the perception of sobriety with her own sober club, podcast, and outspokenness in the media on the benefits of alcohol-free living and I'm so excited to have her on the show today. Listen in!

Jenn Kautsch's story is fascinating. Unlike many of us, Jenn didn't drink in her teenage years or 20s. In fact, she didn't really pick up drinking until she was a mom and well into her career in her mid-30s. Her drinking mirrors a phenomenon in history—consumption levels were lower for women in the 80s and 90s and then starkly rose in the 2000s as the drinking culture changed. Fifteen years later, she feels stuck in the American rat race, drink, hangover, repeat. Even though she eats healthy, works out, and is committed to building her relationship with God, Jenn feels like she is living two different lives. Until everything changed when she focused on becoming sober-minded. Listen in to learn how to resolve incongruency in your life, how faith can strengthen your why, and why being present and aware with the right tools can change your life.

Today Jenn is an incredible teacher in the alcohol-free community and builds transformations through the power of sisterhood.

Kate Bee is such an incredible voice in the alcohol-free community and I'm so happy to have her on the show. She is the founder of the Sober School and has created an alcohol-free life that she loves. We talk about her journey and what it was like to quit drinking in England at 29 after YEARS of doubting her relationship to alcohol. But then came some "sober firsts" that helped expand her into a better-developed person.

Kate's best advice for someone just starting out? Do your sober homework. That is, commit to a period of time off alcohol and dive deep into podcasts, books, and blogs.

Listen in to the episode to learn why doing something just to fit in is flawed and what to do if your decision to quit drinking changes your relationships. Plus, Kate's favorite drink and why you should "drink things that bring you joy."

Listen in to learn how we built this event community and how you could get started in your own city. We share tips and ideas for creating your own meetups so that you can build the alcohol-free connections and friendships to thrive.
