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 Pop Buchanan, creator of the Sober Is Dope Podcast and founder of the Sober Is Dope Transformation School, to talk about recovery, holistic healing, and how to truly transform your life after addiction.

Pop shares his journey from battling alcohol addiction between the ages of 27 and 33 to rebuilding his life and becoming a leading voice in the recovery and wellness space. We talk about how dopamine plays a key role in both addiction and recovery, why holistic healing matters, and what it means to step into your purpose after sobriety.

His favorite motto says it all: “It’s never too late to be amazing.”

This episode will leave you feeling inspired, motivated, and reminded that recovery isn’t just about quitting, it’s about thriving.

Welcome to Season Two of the Sober Vibes Podcast! 

In this episode, I’m reminding you that it’s completely OK if you haven’t hit every single goal you set for yourself this year or if you’ve fallen off track in your sobriety journey. Life happens, and recovery isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress and compassion.

I discuss what it truly means to reset without guilt, how to reflect on what worked (and what didn’t), and why starting again today is more powerful than waiting for the “perfect” moment.

Whether you’re rebuilding routines, recommitting to your sobriety, or just trying to find your momentum again, remember: you don’t have to start over; you’re just continuing your story with more wisdom this time

It’s the end of Season One of the Sober Vibes podcast, and it's a Livin on the El-Ledge, the show within the Sober Vibes Podcast! 

What a ride this year has been. My sister, Kimberly Elledge, and I are grateful to every listener who has joined us on this wild, honest, and laughter-filled journey.

In this episode of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I sit down with Jeff Stevens, founder of WellBeing Brewing Company, to talk about his journey of sobriety, creativity, and building a business that’s redefining what it means to live alcohol-free.

Jeff shares how his decision to quit drinking completely changed his life and how his love of live music, community, and connection inspired him to create the first non-alcoholic craft brewery in the United States. We talk about how NA options can help people stay social, empowered, and proud of their sobriety without feeling left out.

His story is a great reminder that life doesn’t stop when you stop drinking; it expands. Whether you’re sober curious, newly alcohol-free, or years into recovery, this episode will leave you feeling inspired to live boldly and proudly non-alcoholic.

You don’t have to drink to have fun, and Jeff’s story proves it.

In this episode of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I open up about my journey of learning to trust my Higher Power in early sobriety and recovery from alcohol addiction.

When you’ve experienced trauma or loss, it can be hard, even uncomfortable, to believe in something greater than yourself. I share what that looked like for me in the beginning, how I slowly built my spiritual foundation, and the one simple tip that helped me start trusting again.

Spiritual growth in sobriety isn’t about perfection; it’s about finding your own connection, in your own time, in your own way.

If you’ve ever struggled with the idea of a Higher Power or spirituality in recovery, this episode will help you see that you get to define what that means for you

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

In this episode, my sister Kimberly Elledge and I dive into a big topic for anyone in recovery or healing from addiction: codependency. Whether you’re in recovery yourself or grew up as an adult child of an alcoholic, this is a conversation that needs to be heard and revisited, often.

We share openly about our own codependent patterns, how they showed up in our relationships, and the steps we’ve taken to heal and grow through them together and individually.

💫 Healing from codependency is messy but powerful work. It’s about learning to love others and yourself without losing who you are in the process.

In episode 39 of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I sit down with Michael Dash, recovering addict, best-selling author of Chasing the High, and founder of FATE- From Addict to Entrepreneur.

Michael shares his powerful story of drug and gambling addiction, the dangerous chase for the next high, and the moment that changed everything. We discuss what recovery truly entails, including the emotional work, rebuilding self-trust, and the clarity that comes with finally stopping to run.

He’s now using his story to inspire others through entrepreneurship, service, and purpose. This conversation is honest, raw, and a reminder that your past doesn’t define you, but what you do with it does.

No matter what kind of addiction you’ve faced, there’s always a way forward, and Michael’s journey proves it.

In episode 38  of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I’m talking about something that can feel extra tricky the holiday season. Whether it’s family pressure, parties, or loneliness, the holidays can test your sobriety and emotional balance in ways you might not expect.

I share three practical tips to help you protect your sobriety, your boundaries, and your mental health during this time of year, even in the chaos of 2020 (and let’s be real, any year).

If the holidays tend to trigger you or leave you feeling stressed, this episode is your reminder that you don’t have to do it perfectly — you have to do it your way. Sobriety is a gift you give yourself every day, one that includes saying no when you need to, resting when you must, and being your authentic self.

You can stay sober, peaceful, and grounded this holiday season, no matter what’s happening around you.

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

In this episode, my sister Kimberly Elledge and I welcome a very special guest — our mom, Debbie.

We sit down for an honest, emotional, and at times hilarious conversation about what it was like for her to raise two daughters who battled addiction and are now living in recovery. Debbie opens up about the fear, heartbreak, and hope that come with being the mother of children struggling with addiction and how she learned to set boundaries, hold faith, and keep loving through it all.

This one’s for all the moms out there walking that hard road. You’re not alone, and healing is possible for families, too.

 Expect some tears, some laughs, and a whole lot of truth in typical Livin on the El-Ledge fashion

In episode 36 of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I sit down with Adam Danielson to talk about an important and often overlooked topic — the connection between head trauma and addiction.

Adam opens up about his personal experience with closed-head injuries from sports and how those injuries affected his thinking, emotional regulation, and decision-making, eventually leading him down a path of addiction to drugs and alcohol.

We talk about his recovery journey, what it took to heal both mentally and physically, and how he’s now on a mission to help others do the same. His story is a powerful reminder that recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all; it’s about understanding your body, your brain, and giving yourself grace along the way.

Healing after trauma is possible. Your story doesn’t end with addiction — it begins again in recovery.
