    #78 A Coffee with Rachel LaForce

    #78 A Coffee with Rachel LaForce

    This week I'm having coffee with Rachel LaForce, a comedian and podcaster who is 6 years sober! Rachel's story is a perfect example of the fact that sobriety isn't just about not drinking; it's about creating a new, big, fulfilling life that you don't need to drink to escape from. In this conversation Rachel chats about her sober story, embracing our misfit selves, letting go of codependent relationships, becoming a mother, and feeling worthy to go after the things we want in life (and so much more!). This conversation left me feeling SO inspired and I know it will do the same for you.

Look forward to this every week!

Maddie’s perspective is so relatable and nonjudgmental. That’s why I keep coming back to learn and process my own thoughts about alcohol and my relationship with it. Her episodes with her mom are my favorite!

Such a lifeline

This podcast has been such a lifeline during the beginning stages of my sobriety. I binge listened to it during my first sober weekend and felt like I was hanging out with a friend that “gets it”. So thankful for the hope and excitement this podcast has brought me about what my life can be when I stop drinking and start living. ❤️

Perfect for those who want to learn more about alcohol.

This is a great positive podcast with lots of advice on sobriety. It is perfect for those who are sober curious and want to stay motivated on their journey. I love listening to her in the morning or while I’m doing dishes at night.
