Kim and Catherine talk with Kezia Calvert again about all things sobriety from supportive spouses, sober weddings and the approaching holidays. Tune in for a fun and laid back chat with the ladies.

Kim and Catherine shoot the shit and talk about some random facts about each other. Get ready to laugh and reflect on your own vulnerabilities and weirdness. 

“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” -Brene Brown

Catherine shares about her new mindset coaching business, Shift Into You.

Kim and Catherine begin a new segment called, "Try Not to Sh*t Yourself." Once a month, they will interview one another. They must each deliver tough, on the spot questions that they will try to answer without any preparation. Much like the discomfort felt being on display in front of their classmates back in middle school, they will confront some of their most dreaded anxieties and biggest fears. But instead of ridicule and judgement, they will be met with compassion, love and understanding. The ladies talk through it all with a friendly, joyful support of one another.

They speak honestly and openly about their insecurities and tough moments, not giving a f*ck what people think. Working through our shame and sharing about the hard stuff helps us grow. That is part of The Weekend Sober's mission - to be honest and authentic. Let's try not to let the opinions of others get in our way. 

Tune in this week for some FUN conversation!
