We’ve been on a sober-curious kick lately, so who better to talk to than someone who’s built a community for sober women and has been sober herself for 11 years and counting? Today, Danny interviews Courtney Andersen, founder of Sober Vibes, about her journey to sobriety and the challenges and joys of living an alcohol-free life. We discuss the decision to quit drinking, finding fun without alcohol, the cultural shift towards sobriety, and how to navigate social outings without alcohol. We also talk about re-defining relapse and a shame-free approach to sobriety. Life is hard enough, with or without drinking, and we’re all better for having these conversations openly and compassionately.
