In this episode, Kathryn and Ewa break down how to stay sober, confident, and grounded during the holidays. This season brings pressure, family dynamics, old habits, and expectations that can make not drinking feel harder than usual. The SoberFitGirls walk you through exactly how to prepare, what to expect, and how to handle social situations without compromising your goals.

You’ll learn how to understand your holiday triggers, set clear boundaries, make a plan before you go out, and stay connected to your “why” when things feel overwhelming. We also cover two of the most effective sobriety tools: Play the Tape Forward and Play the Tape Backward. These mindset practices help you see the real outcome of drinking before it happens and build self-trust after you move through a craving sober.

This episode will help you show up as the version of yourself you want to be, protect your peace, and get through holiday events without alcohol. If you want to enter the new year feeling proud, clear, and consistent, this conversation will support you every step of the way.

In this episode of the SoberFitGirl Podcast, Kathryn and Ewa explore one of the hardest parts of sobriety — letting go of the guilt and shame from the past.

We all have a version of ourselves we cringe thinking about:

the drunk nights, the decisions we regret, the people we chased, the moments we abandoned ourselves.

But instead of living in shame, what if we chose gratitude?

What if the version of you who drank, numbed, binged, or checked out…

was actually the one who kept you alive long enough to become the version you are now?

In this episode, we talk about:

• How shame keeps you stuck in the past
• Rewriting your story without embarrassment
• Being grateful for the coping mechanisms that got you here
• Finally releasing the guilt so you can move forward

You don’t heal by hating who you used to be.

You heal by thanking her.

Because she was doing the best she could with what she had.

She survived - so YOU could grow.

Tune in to learn how to forgive yourself, let go, and move into your sober era with compassion, softness, and gratitude.

In this episode of the SoberFitGirl Podcast, Kathryn and Ewa break down what it really means to choose yourself in sobriety — even when it feels uncomfortable, selfish, or unfamiliar.

For so many of us, drinking was tied to people pleasing:

• saying yes when we wanted to say no
• shrinking ourselves to keep the peace
• drinking to be more “fun,” more “easygoing,” more likable

Sobriety forces you to face the truth:

You don’t have a drinking problem — you have a self-abandonment problem.

Kathryn and Ewa share real stories about:

• finally saying no without over-explaining
• creating boundaries without apologizing
• choosing joy without needing anyone’s permission
• letting go of friendships that only existed around alcohol

This episode is your permission slip to take up space, protect your peace, and build a life that makes you genuinely happy — not just liked.

Because choosing yourself isn’t selfish.

It’s self-respect.

In this episode, Kathryn and Ewa get real about the connection between food and alcohol — the habits, the emotional triggers, and the way both can show up when we’re stressed, lonely, overwhelmed, or trying to feel something.

They talk about how drinking and eating can become coping mechanisms, the “all-or-nothing” mindset, and that moment when alcohol lowers your inhibitions and suddenly you're elbows-deep in Uber Eats, snacks, or binge eating. They share their own stories — from late-night emotional eating after drinking to waking up with anxiety, shame, and cravings that weren’t even about hunger.

Together, they break down:

• How alcohol affects hunger, cravings, and decision-making
• Why binge drinking and binge eating often show up together
• Using food for comfort when you’re trying not to drink
• The difference between nourishing your body vs. punishing your body
• How sobriety heals your relationship with food naturally

You’ll learn how to reconnect to your body, build trust with yourself, and create routines that support feeling good — without restricting or obsessing.

This episode reminds you that food isn’t the enemy. Alcohol isn’t the solution.

Feeling good is the goal.

In this episode, Kathryn and Ewa dive into one of the most powerful parts of getting and staying sober — defining your why. It’s easy to say you want to stop drinking, but lasting change happens when you get brutally honest about what’s at stake — and what your life could look like in five years if you don’t make a change.

They share their own personal “whys” and how fear, rock-bottom moments, and brutal honesty became the wake-up calls that got them sober. Together, they unpack the difference between surface goals (“I don’t want hangovers”) and the deeper truth underneath (“I want peace, confidence, and self-respect”).

 Tune in to hear:

• How fear can become the fuel for transformation
• Why your “why” matters more than motivation or willpower
• What happens if you don’t make a change
• How Kathryn and Ewa found their own whys — and how you can find yours too

In this episode, we sit down at the Drinks with Benefits Festival in NYC with Sabrina Rudin—founder of Spring Café Aspen and the voice behind @springbysabrina. Sabrina grew up in a holistic household where alcohol wasn’t really part of the picture, which shaped how she thinks about health today. She opens up about what it’s like to be judged in social settings for not drinking, and how she’s learned to stay true to herself in those moments.

But most of all, we dive into food—how she feeds her kids and herself with healthy, nourishing meals (but always leaves room for a sweet treat here and there), and how she focuses on eating in a way that feels good, not restrictive. From the kitchen to her business, Sabrina brings a natural, balanced vibe that makes wellness feel approachable and real.

Sobriety doesn’t just give you your health back—it gives you your peace back. In this episode, Kathryn and Ewa share the surprising (and sometimes funny) list of things they never have to worry about anymore since putting down the bottle.

From post-blackout anxiety to humiliating party photos, wasted hangover days, 3 a.m. dehydrated panic, or drunk texting an ex—sobriety removes the chaos and replaces it with clarity, confidence, and self-respect.

Beyond the list, they also reflect on how long-term sobriety shifted their perspective. Over time, they realized they weren’t actually missing out at all—what they thought alcohol was giving them was only taking away. With distance and healing, they can now see how much better life feels without the constant worry, regret, and self-sabotage.

✨ Tune in to hear them reflect on:

• Why they no longer wake up with regret, hangovers, or missing wallets
• The relief of no more drunk texts to exes, late-night Uber Eats, or oversharing embarrassments
• How sobriety saved their workouts, routines, and emotional stability
• The freedom of not having to apologize for embarrassing behavior
• Why long-term sobriety reveals you’re not missing out—you’re finally free

This episode is both relatable and freeing—a reminder that sobriety isn’t about what you give up, but everything you get back.

XOXO 

Kathryn & Ewa

🎙️ I am sorry to myself and others: How to let go the SoberFitGirl way

Forgiveness isn’t just about others - it’s about ourselves too. Every day we choose sobriety, we’re also choosing to say “I’m sorry” and “I forgive you,” to the people around us and to ourselves.

In this episode, Kathryn and Ewa open up about the ongoing work of self-forgiveness and acceptance. Kathryn shares how she’s forgiven her father for his alcoholism and found a healthier place with her mother. Ewa reflects on the delicate balance between letting things go versus confronting someone—and how sometimes choosing peace over confrontation is the best decision for your own healing.

Together, they explore the reality of still struggling with pain and harm that’s been done to them, while learning to accept people as they are and releasing what they cannot change.

✨ Tune in to hear:

How daily sobriety is an act of self-forgiveness

The tension between letting go vs. confronting someone

Kathryn’s journey of forgiving her father and healing her relationship with her mother

Ewa’s reflections on choosing peace for her own well-being

How both continue to wrestle with letting go of past harm

Why sobriety is the foundation for moving forward with freedom and clarity

This episode is a reminder that forgiveness is not a one-time act—it’s a daily choice, and sobriety gives us the strength to keep choosing it.

XOXO
