One of the most common struggles I hear from people in the sober community is that the people in their lives don't support or understand their decision to quit drinking. This week, I chat all about how to navigate other people's opinions and judgments on our sobriety, which can be a really challenging (and scary!) aspect of this journey for so many of us. I also share my top tips for tackling social situations in early sobriety if you're worried about being judged by others for not drinking.

#79 Ditching Shame & Blame and Accepting our Sobriety

This week I'm having coffee with Rachel LaForce, a comedian and podcaster who is 6 years sober! Rachel's story is a perfect example of the fact that sobriety isn't just about not drinking; it's about creating a new, big, fulfilling life that you don't need to drink to escape from. In this conversation Rachel chats about her sober story, embracing our misfit selves, letting go of codependent relationships, becoming a mother, and feeling worthy to go after the things we want in life (and so much more!). This conversation left me feeling SO inspired and I know it will do the same for you.
