This week I'm having coffee with Sharon Hartley from Over the Influence! Sharon has been sober for over 5 years after she took a 90-day break from drinking and felt so amazing that she just kept going. She now runs the Over the Influence community and co-hosts Over the Influence: The Alcohol Free Podcast. Sharon is fun, hilarious, and speaks about sobriety with a joy and enthusiasm that is so contagious. I absolutely loved this chat and I know you will, too!

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.

This week I'm having coffee with Dupe Witherick, an alcohol free coach, author of "A Cocktail of Clarity", and host of the Thrive Alcohol Free Podcast!
