    #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.

    This week I'm having coffee with Dupe Witherick, an alcohol free coach, author of "A Cocktail of Clarity", and host of the Thrive Alcohol Free Podcast! Dupe started off her journey with a 21 day break from alcohol, but after noticing incredible shifts and clarity in just those 3 weeks, she kept going and is now 3 and a half years sober! Dupe is here to spread the message that no matter what our relationship looks like with alcohol, anyone can benefit from a sober life! Her story speaks to the incredible transformation that can come from removing alcohol. You're sure to come away from this one feeling very inspired!

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.
