Thriving Alcohol-Free with Mocktail Mom

This week, I’m chatting with the amazing Abbie, one of the founders of Raising the Bar, the zero-proof cocktail subscription box that’s changing how we celebrate, one sip at a time. Abbie gets real about her journey to an alcohol-free life—why she started her sober journey in December (yes, during the holidays!), how people-pleasing played into her drinking, and why putting yourself first is always the right move.

We also dive into her best tips for navigating holiday parties booze-free, the importance of community (because you’re not meant to do this alone!), and how she turned her dining room into ground zero for a business that’s now a nationwide sensation. From festive, thoughtful drink recipes to the chaos of shipping 600+ boxes after a Today Show shoutout, Abbie spills all the behind-the-scenes stories—including a crazy story with none other than Danny Trejo!

Plus, we’re teasing some big news for 2025, chatting about the Mocktail Summit in January!
