Are you wondering how to reconnect with your body after getting sober? In this episode, I share my own experience of getting fit in sobriety. I talk about how alcohol prevented me from creating a consistent work out routine, how getting sober taught me to trust my body and how too often we substitute an addiction to fitness for alcohol. This episode won’t help you develop a workout routine but it will motivate you to consider how you can take care of your physical health in sobriety.

If getting sober were just about willpower, most of us would already be there. In this episode, I talk about shame — the invisible weight that keeps so many people stuck in addiction. We unpack how shame differs from guilt, why it fuels secrecy and self-sabotage, and how it can turn sobriety into something to endure instead of something that brings relief. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, discouraged, or exhausted by trying to get sober “the right way.”

What does a sober coach actually do?

In this episode, I break down what sober coaching (and what it isn’t), who I work with, and how I help clients navigate sobriety in a way that prioritizes autonomy, confidence, and real life - not rigid rules.

We talk about identity loss after quitting drinking, redefining sobriety on your own terms , navigating social situations without alcohol, and why willpower is rarely the real issue. I also share who this work is not for, and why that distinction matters.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between “I don’t want to drink like this anymore” and “I don’t fit into traditional recovery spaces,” this episode is for you.

Many people avoid recovery—or leave it entirely—because they’re terrified of messing up. In this episode, I unpack the idea that relapse automatically means failure and why recovery doesn’t look the same for everyone.

We talk about rigid sobriety rules, day counts, shame, and how to build a recovery plan that actually works for you. If you’ve ever felt discouraged after slipping up or wondered whether traditional recovery spaces are the right fit, this episode offers a different perspective.
