What happens when the lifestyle you built your life around suddenly stops working?

Chef and creator of Emma Claire's Kitchen Emily Susman, shares her sobriety journey, how she lost over 100 lbs, and what it really looks like to quit drinking in a culture where alcohol is everywhere.

 

Emily shares how she started drinking at just 14, spent years in the hospitality world where alcohol was normalized, and the moment she realized drinking was taking more from her life than it was giving.

This conversation dives into the emotional side of sobriety that so many women experience but rarely talk about. Shame, loneliness, pressure to drink, and the surprising transformation that can happen when alcohol is no longer in the picture.

In this raw and inspiring episode, America’s Next Top Model winner India Gants opens up about her sober journey and her experience leaving a narcissistic, abusive relationship.

We talk about the striking similarities between alcohol dependency and toxic partners, how both can keep you stuck in self-doubt and fear,  and the freedom that comes from breaking those cycles.

India shares how sobriety gave her the clarity and confidence to trust herself again, recognize red flags, and build a healthier, happier life.

If you’ve ever struggled with alcohol, felt trapped in an unhealthy relationship, or wondered how the two can be connected, this conversation is a must-listen.

In this episode, I sit down with the founder of Mocktails, Angela Hansen, to talk about the sober curious movement, non alcoholic drinks, and the real pain points women face when changing their relationship with alcohol.

We get honest about:

The 5 pm wine habit and why it feels so hard to break

Mom guilt, burnout, and using wine as a reward

Feeling left out socially when you stop drinking

If you are sober curious, cutting back, or fully alcohol free but still navigating cravings, loneliness, or social pressure, this episode will make you feel seen.

Sobriety isn’t about restriction. It’s about reclaiming your energy, confidence, and peace.
