The After Party: A podcast about sobriety, from The Sober Kates

This week, the Kates are joined by Rachel Brady of Shots to Shakes to discuss her journey to sobriety, leaning on alcohol as a coping mechanism, the return of Saturn, what's in her sober fanny pack, rehearsing for therapy, the commodification of sobriety, performative vulnerability, and her forthcoming podcast!

Turning another year older used to mean blackouts and bar nights. Now it means reflection, introspection, and appreciating the journey they've been on. Learn how the Kates are celebrating themselves more in sobriety, navigating birthdays without alcohol, and what the perfect birthday looks like now.

Sobriety isn't all sunshine and roses. In an extra vulnerable Thirsty Thursday, the Kates open up about what they've been struggling with lately—Little Kate is coping with the anniversary of her brother's death and all the emotions that brings with it. Big Kate has been trying to navigate conflict in a long distance relationship during a global pandemic. Hear about their struggles, their successes, and what they're doing to find their way through while staying sober.

This week, the Kates answer everything you've ever wanted to know—and more. Join them for another entertaining Thirsty Thursday as they discuss their goals in sobriety, how to support the sober people in your network, whether their younger selves would appreciate who they became, and which five people they'd have at their dream dinner. Stay until the end to find out which Kate you should bet on in a fight to the death.

In an extra beautiful episode of The After Party, these two beauts reflect on beauty and self-worth in drinking and sobriety: what ‘beauty’ used to mean to them and how they strived to be beautiful, how their perceptions and standards of beauty have changed in sobriety the beauty of vulnerability, and how sobriety has helped them to love themselves better.

Lou Redmond is an author, meditation guide, transformational coach, and sobriety is his superpower. When the Kates were in early sobriety, they listened to a podcast interview with Lou that helped reinforce the journey they were on. This week, it comes full circle as Lou joins the podcast to discuss his experience with alcohol and substance abuse, his journey to sobriety, the power of words, non-alcoholic beverages, and how he overcame his fear, spontaneously quit his job, and found his truth.

It's one for the normies! This week at The After Party, the Kates give advice to people with sober friends: what to say, what not to say, how to approach sobriety with curiosity, and how to best support them (hint: never say you liked them better when they drank.) Also: being triggered by hand sanitizer and neighborhood peep shows.

Amy C. Willis is a sobriety and mindset coach and the founder of HOL + WELL. This week she joins the Kates to talk about the impact of grief on her drinking, relapses and recovery, and her journey into holistic wellness for herself and ultimately the start of her business, HOL + WELL.
