The American opera singer and German-born wine maker are raising their daughter on an organic vineyard filled with live oaks and herds of grazing sheep.  Sharing a deep love for the land and a commitment to mindful living, the vineyard is not just their home but a testament to their creativity and commitment to sustainability.  After a Dry January turned February and beyond, Max decided he wanted to make something new. The couple has been developing a beautiful zero proof beverage made from organic verjus from their vineyard and exciting and unexpected ingredients like cardamom, hibiscus, and black pepper.  Check out their offerings!  Be sure to follow Sara, Max and their family on IG @glasrosefarm  Connect with me on IG @creativesobriety and please follow along and subscribe to my Substack newsletter www.kristenbear.substack.com where you will also find The Creative Sobriety Method video workshop series!

    Episode 51: The European Union Is Bailing Out Their Wine Industry, Should We? w/Kristen (@creativesobriety)

    Hey y'all! I'm back with another solo episode, a follow up to my most recent Substack piece about a potential wine bailout in the US that reflects how the EU is approaching their struggling wine industry.  In this episode I go through some key points of the EU's agreement including incentives for no and low alcohol production.  I also take a fun little detour through some of the wine industry's more notable scandals in recent history including Austria's antifreeze moment in 1985, a Napa CEO's midnight heist, and a "Catch Me If You Can" con-man that swindled rich wine snobs out of over $35 million dollars before he was caught. It's a fun one.  My opinion is that the wine industry needs more than cashflow, they need an attitude adjustment. We have reached sink or swim season for wine--swim towards innovation or sink with tradition. Grab your popcorn!  Here's an article about the EU bailout  A fun read in Los Angeles Magazine about Rudy Kurniawan Be sure to catch up on my Substack posts on all of this!  Connect with me on IG @creativesobriety and please follow along and subscribe to my Substack newsletter www.kristenbear.substack.com where you will also find The Creative Sobriety Method video workshop series!

    Episode 50: Inga Headland Seppala (@thelandlineshow)

    Hey y'all! So excited to introduce you to Inga Headland Seppala today! Besides being an all-around cool sober chick, Inga is a creative director, writer, and the creator of Landline, a lo-fi call-in show about connection and second chances.  After more than a decade designing pitch decks for studios like Netflix, HBO, and Apple, she now helps writers clarify their stories through her app, The Perfect Pitch Deck.  Inga got sober in her 40's and draws on recovery, humor, and faith in all of her creative projects. I think all creative artists would benefit from Inga's app, The Perfect Pitch Deck, regardless of medium. Check it out!

    Episode 49: The Alcohol Industry Doesn't Like Curiosity w/Kristen (@creativesobriety)

    Hey y'all! Back at you with another solo episode today. I'm offering some context to help the alcohol industry understand why people aren't drinking as much (spoiler alert: it's not because we are Victorian moralists who want to ruin everyone's party). I go through a quick recap of how we got here, what tactics the industry is using to discredit the modern sobriety movement, and the support I've been receiving from sober people who have different methods and practices from me.  Curiosity killed the cat. It's also killing the industry's bottom line. That's that sh!t they don't like. Tap in! Be sure to stay up to date via Substack. Link below.  Onward we go!

    Episode 48: The Self Magazine Article Debacle w/ Kristen (@creativesobriety)

    Hey y'all! Welp. Can't let this one go. I'm diving deeper into the meltdown over the Self Magazine article from Ronnie Koenig, titled, "Can People Stop Being So Sanctimonious About Not Drinking?" I already wrote a lengthy response to the piece over on Substack so please go check that out and share it!! I had some new information come my way, specifically about some of Koenig's previous work that feels relevant. I wanted to share that with you today as well as some other verbiage connections I've noticed between the Self article and rhetoric coming out from the wine industry.  The Self Article  My Substack Piece  Another Substack Piece that's relevant Koenig's Flow Space article The Times piece about drinking in youth Connect with me on IG @creativesobriety and please follow along and subscribe to my Substack newsletter www.kristenbear.substack.com where you will also find The Creative Sobriety Method video workshop series!

His special, "The Pride of Hagerstown," is out now on YouTube through FourbyThree Productions. Will shares his sobriety journey and is just over three months sober at the time of our recording.
