Sober Vibes: Alcohol free lifestyle tips for long-term sobriety, whether you're sober curious or ready to quit drinking for good

In this episode of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I sit down with KL Wells for a powerful conversation about breaking generational addiction and the courage it takes to rewrite the patterns we grew up with.

KL shares her story — not only as a woman in recovery herself but also as a mother of an addicted child. Her honesty, strength, and insight make this episode deeply meaningful for anyone navigating family addiction, trauma, or healing generational wounds.

What You Will Learn In This Episode:
• What it really means to break generational cycles
• The emotional toll of loving someone with an addiction
• Why families need support just as much as the person struggling
• How KL founded VoicesInCourage, a community dedicated to helping families heal, connect, and grow

Healing doesn’t happen alone; it happens in community, and it begins with one brave decision at a time.

 KL is a community leader, speaker, and mother who has spent over 20 years collaborating with nonprofit leaders, CEOs, and philanthropists to spark meaningful change. Her personal journey led her to launch VoicesInCourage, a rapidly growing community offering support and resources for families navigating addiction, grief, boundaries, and healing.

In this episode of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I’m sharing my #1 tool for having fun in sobriety — the same tool I’ve been using for years that completely shifted my mindset around what it means to enjoy life alcohol-free.

Fun doesn’t end when drinking does. In fact, with the right mindset and support, it gets better — clearer, calmer, and much more meaningful. This tool is simple, actionable, and a total game-changer when it comes to building an alcohol-free life you actually want to live.

Sobriety isn’t about missing out; it’s about redefining fun on your own terms.

In this episode of Livin on the El-Ledge — the show within the Sober Vibes Podcast — Kimberly Elledge and I dive into a powerful (and often painful) part of the sobriety journey: outgrowing toxic relationships.

We talk about why so many of us attract unhealthy people during our active addiction, what shifts once we start healing, and how sobriety naturally changes the kind of relationships we allow into our lives.

As you become healthier, your relationships must evolve. Some grow with you. Some don’t. And that’s okay.

The sisters get honest about their own experiences, the grief that comes with letting go, and the freedom that comes with choosing peace over chaos.

Thank you for listening and for doing this inner work right alongside us.

In this episode of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I sit down with Cindi Roberts to talk about a topic that’s not discussed nearly enough — intimacy and sex in early recovery.

Cindi and I dive into what it looks like to reconnect with yourself and others after quitting alcohol, how to rebuild confidence in your body, and why emotional intimacy often feels brand-new in sobriety.

Sobriety doesn’t take away your spark; it helps you rediscover it with clarity and confidence.

Cindi Roberts is a Certified Professional Recovery Coach and Sexual Health and Wellness Educator with over 25 years of experience helping women heal from alcohol use disorder and reignite joy, confidence, and passion in their relationships. Her work centers around empowering women to recover their inner spark and embrace their authentic selves.

This is such an important conversation, one that reminds us that recovery isn’t just about removing alcohol, it’s about rediscovering who you are underneath it all.

Thank you for listening.

In this episode of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I’m diving into a big one: the fear of failing in sobriety.

So many people never start their alcohol-free journey because they’re afraid they’ll “mess up.” I’ve been there. It took me four years of trying before it finally stuck, and I’m here to tell you that trying is never failing. Every attempt teaches you something, builds awareness, and brings you one step closer to lasting freedom.

Failure isn’t falling, it’s refusing to get back up.

If you’ve been scared to take that first step, this episode is your permission slip to try again. Sobriety is a process, not perfection.

Thank you for being here and for showing up for yourself today.

In this episode of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I sit down with Brianne Davis to talk about her journey through love and sex addiction and how recovery completely transformed her life both personally and professionally.

From bringing powerful characters to life on screen to producing, directing, and writing her own work, Brianne is a true creative force in Hollywood. But behind the scenes, she faced her own battle with addiction. With over 12 years in recovery, she now uses her voice and platform to break stigma, spark honest conversations, and empower others to heal.

We discuss her experience with addiction in the entertainment industry, what real emotional sobriety looks like, and how vulnerability has become her superpower.

 Brianne’s story is proof that no matter where you come from or what you’ve been through, recovery is possible and freedom is real.

Brianne Davis is an actress (Jarhead, True Blood, Lucifer), director, producer, sober coach, and the bestselling author of Secret Life of a Hollywood Sex & Love Addict. She also hosts the Secret Life podcast, sharing real stories that help remove shame and spark healing.

Thank you for listening and for being part of this recovery movement.

In this episode of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I’m talking about something that comes up often in recovery — rock bottom.

We all have one, but it doesn’t always look the same. Your rock bottom might not be dramatic or visible to others; it might simply be that moment when you realize alcohol is no longer serving you. And that’s enough.

I share my perspective on why it’s so important to stop judging what someone else’s rock bottom “should” look like and instead focus on our own truth and growth. Sobriety is not about comparison; it’s about awareness, acceptance, and compassion.

Rock bottom isn’t a place — it’s a turning point.

In this Livin on the El-Ledge episode — the show within the Sober Vibes Podcast — my sister Kimberly Elledge and I revisit one of our favorite conversations: the raw, honest talk with our mom, Debbie Elledge, about what it’s like being a mother to daughters who’ve battled addiction.

Originally released in Season One as “Sorry Mom,” we’re resharing this heartfelt episode in honor of our mom’s birthday and Mother’s Day. It’s emotional, honest, and filled with moments of truth, healing, and laughter.

For any parent who has loved someone struggling with addiction, this one’s for you. There is hope, growth, and forgiveness on the other side.

In this episode of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I sit down with Arielle Dyment to talk about what it’s really like to re-enter the world after rehab.

Arielle opens up about her addiction, her time in treatment, and how she rebuilt her life once she stepped back into the world sober. We talk about the challenges of early recovery, the emotional highs and lows, and the powerful lessons that come from starting over with a clear mind and a stronger sense of self.

Sobriety isn’t just about getting clean, it’s about learning to live freely, fully, and unapologetically as yourself.

Arielle Dyment is a recovery and life coach on a mission to help others reclaim their power and discover true freedom in sobriety. Her story is a reminder that healing is possible, one choice at a time.
