Megan Forrest (my mom!) got sober at 21 years old. Today she's 39 years sober after only ever having one "day 1", and she joins me this week for a mother-daughter chat about sobriety. We hear her story, talk about family dynamics around alcohol, and debate some different generational viewpoints on alcoholism. Most of all, she shares a whole lot of wisdom from nearly four decades of maintained sobriety. You don't want to miss this one!

#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.
