Ep 11 – From Pints to Pull-Ups: A Mother & Daughter Sobriety Journey 💪🍷

If you’ve ever thought “am I too far gone?” or “am I too old to change?”—this one’s for you. Spoiler: you’re not.

This week, we’re joined by Polly and Bre—a powerhouse mother and daughter duo who’ve ditched booze, transformed their lives, and built something pretty bloody inspiring.

We chat about everything from whisky at 14 to running 10Ks and starting new careers, and how choosing sobriety (at 30 and 57) completely reshaped their health, their identity, and their relationship. It’s emotional, empowering, and full of laugh-out-loud moments too.

Episode Show Notes

Topic of the Week: From Pints to Pull-Ups – The Mother & Daughter Sobriety Journey

In this episode, we sit down with the wonderful Polly & Bre, a mother and daughter who went sober at totally different stages in life—but inspired and supported each other the whole way through.

We talk through:

• How Brie gave up alcohol at 30 and inspired her mum to follow
• Polly’s decision to quit at 57—and how it changed her health, mindset, and career
• The myths around alcohol and “functioning” in your career or as a parent
• Going from wine o’clock to weight training, coaching, and real confidence
• How their relationship blossomed when alcohol left the chat
• The different pressures across generations—and how they found common ground through sobriety

This isn’t just about cutting out drinking—it’s about growth, connection, healing, and real change at any age.

⭐ Key Takeaways

1. You’re never too old—or too stuck—to make a change. Polly’s sobriety at 57 turned her life around.
2. Sobriety shifts your identity. It’s scary, but it opens the door to who you actually are.
3. Your reasons matter. Whether it’s health, energy, parenting, or purpose—your why is powerful.
4. Relationships deepen when booze is off the table. Polly and Brie’s bond is proof.
5. It’s okay to stop before things fall apart. You don’t need to hit rock bottom to want more.
