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

It’s Living on the El-Edge week — the show within the Sober Vibes Podcast!

In this episode, my sister Kimberly Elledge and I are talking about waking up to the patterns, behaviors, and dynamics within family relationships that we often don’t see until we get sober.

We dive into the reality of toxic family traits, what it means to recognize them without blame, and how to start breaking the cycle. Healing your family dynamics isn’t about pointing fingers; it’s about awareness, boundaries, and compassion both for yourself and others.

Just because people did their best doesn’t mean their behavior didn’t impact you. Sobriety gives you the clarity to see, feel, and choose differently.

In this episode of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I sit down with my former coach, Mindi Huebner, to discuss two essential aspects of growth in sobriety: releasing limiting beliefs and protecting your energy.

Mindi shares her own sobriety story and how mindset work became a core part of her healing and success. Together, we discuss how the beliefs we hold, whether consciously or not, can either keep us stuck or help us expand into the next version of ourselves.

We also explore how protecting your energy is key to maintaining peace, clarity, and confidence in your sober life.

Sobriety gives you a clean slate; your mindset and energy determine what you create next.

Mindi Huebner is a Certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, Certified Health, Life, and Success Coach, and Clinical Hypnotherapist. As an author, speaker, and mentor, she helps people unlock their magic and create extraordinary lives.

In this episode of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I’m talking about the power of letting go not just of alcohol, but of anything that’s no longer serving you.

Maybe it’s drinking or using.
Maybe it’s overthinking, a toxic relationship, or even just your daily soda pop habit.

No matter what it is, this conversation is all about making your journey lighter, easier, and more aligned. Because when we release the things that drain us, we create space for what truly helps us grow.

You don’t have to give everything up at once just start with one thing. Letting go isn’t about loss. It’s about freedom.

In this episode of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I chat with Jennifer Golden about what I like to call the Sober Glow Up how fitness, self-care, and confidence transform you from the inside out once you stop drinking.

Jennifer shares her powerful story of addiction and recovery, opening up about the years when every ounce of her energy revolved around drinking when, where, and how much. Then one morning, she looked in the mirror and said, “No more.” That decision changed everything.

Since getting sober on August 12, 2015, Jennifer has built a life full of health, strength, and purpose. She shares how movement, mindfulness, and beauty rituals helped her heal and how aging in sobriety can be something to celebrate, not fear.

Sobriety gives you your glow back inside and out.

It’s Livin on the El-Ledge week — the show within the Sober Vibes Podcast!

In this episode, my sister Kimberly Elledge joins me for a real, unfiltered conversation about addiction, recovery, and long-term sobriety. This chat builds off my solo episode (#58) about the secret to long-term sobriety, so if you haven’t listened to that one yet, definitely go back after this!

Kim shares her perspective on the challenges that come with maintaining sobriety over time, the emotional work that never really ends, and why relapse happens even with the best intentions. Together, we acknowledge the truth about recovery: it’s not easy, but it’s always worth it.

 Recovery is a lifelong journey, not a destination, and the more honest we are about it, the more people we can help.

In this episode of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I reconnect with Jenn Kautsch, also known as Sober Sis, for a timely and honest conversation about socializing alcohol-free during COVID times.

You may remember Jenn from Season One, when we discussed the Mommy Wine Culture. In this follow-up episode, we explore how the pandemic has impacted social life and what it means to stay connected, confident, and sober in a world where much of life has shifted online or slowed down.

Jenn shares her own story of recovery from “grey area drinking,” how she built her alcohol-free lifestyle, and the ways she’s learned to embrace this new chapter of life with presence, peace, and purpose. Together, we discuss staying grounded when routines shift and how to enjoy social experiences without needing a drink in hand.

Sobriety doesn’t isolate you, it frees you to connect more authentically than ever before.

In this episode of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I’m diving into a question that came straight from the Sober Vibes Facebook community: What’s the secret to long-term sobriety?

After those first few months when the pink cloud fades and real life kicks back in, how do you keep going? How do you stay grounded, connected, and committed when it’s no longer just about not drinking, but truly living alcohol-free?

I share my honest take on what long-term sobriety actually requires, and yes, it might ruffle a few feathers. But everything I share comes from a place of love and truth. Because sobriety isn’t about perfection; it’s about consistency, emotional work, and remembering why you started.

The “secret” isn’t a trick; it’s choosing yourself, again and again, no matter what.

In this episode of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I chat with Kelsey Moreira, founder of Doughp, about how getting sober not only changed her life, but also launched an incredible business.

After quitting alcohol in 2015, Kelsey left her decade-long tech career at Intel to follow her passion for baking. What started as a hobby became a thriving cookie dough company — Doughp and a platform for mental health and recovery advocacy through her #Doughp4Hope initiative.

Kelsey shares her story of transformation, how she turned her sweet tooth into a movement, and the lessons she’s learned as a sober entrepreneur. Her story is proof that sobriety doesn’t limit your potential — it unlocks it.

Sobriety can be the beginning of your biggest dream not the end of your fun.
