I loved recording this episode with Emily Killeen. Emily is a sober community leader who I have collaborated with in the past, and I previously had her on the show a few years ago, when she shared her inspiring sober story. The theme of our discussion on this episode, which was recorded live in Sober Girls Club, was what it really means to be "Happy, Sober and Free" but when I reflect back on the talk, the theme that really showed up in this episode for me was having the courage to start again. When we last connected over three years ago, Emily had built up her dream of building her own retrea ..read more

I LOVED sitting down with Cindy Payne and recording this episode of Sober Yoga Girl Podcast together.  Cindy is an absolute inspiration. When she was a few months sober, she googled alcohol free women's retreats in Bali...and that's how she ended up on the Sober Girls Yoga 2023 Bali Retreat! :) Since then Cindy has gone on to complete our Online 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training, join the India 2024 Sober Girls Yoga Retreat, and be a crucial member of our community, joining our Sunday Sober Girls Yoga Meetings. I genuinely mean it when I say Cindy is an absolutely inspiring woman and I'm sur ..read more

I loved recording this episode with Jay Chase. I had Jay on the show in 2022. In this episode, we connect and catch up.

In this episode we talk about how his life has shifted in the last two years (including becoming a dad!) The context of "protecting your mindset" and one of his takeaways from the last year of developing a system. We speak about the role that faith plays in his life and his necessary self ..read more

I loved sitting down with Sasha Quince in this episode of Sober Yoga Girl Podcast! Sasha and I go way back to our Abu Dhabi days, when we were both yoga teachers in Abu Dhabi. Sasha Quince saved her own marriage in 2017 by healing past trauma, overcoming love fears, breaking family patterns and building emotional safety within. Her own journey empowered her to mentor women to do the inner work to heal and as a result attract and sustain love that lasts. Sasha knows relationships are hard and believes we don't have to figure it out alone, we deserve to come together and learn, how to create hea ..read more
