Thriving in Sobriety: Rediscovering Worth and Building Authentic Connections
03/01/23 • 32 min
In this episode, Sarah Kelly and Sarah Anne have a candid conversation on what it was like to live through their friendship during Sarah Kelly’s active alcoholism and path of recovery.
We became friends during Sarah Kelly's active alcoholism. And while we've talked about aspects of her drinking and sobriety, we've never had a one-on-one conversation of what it was like to live through this time in our friendship. So we decided to do that ... and record it.
Sober curious? The Imiloa Institute in Costa Rica is an alcohol-free campus. While it’s not a theme of the retreat, it’s a fun experiment to explore life without alcohol. We’ve still got a couple of spaces open. We hope you will join us!

Finding your worth in and out of the office with Amy Porterfield
We spend so much of our life at work... especially if we have the standard 9-to-5 job. In this conversation with entrepreneur and best-selling author Amy Porterfield to celebrate the release of her new book, Two Weeks Notice, we explore how work impacts our self-worth, in positive and negative ways.
Throughout the episode we delve into:
- How friends can keep us committed to our self-worth journey
- How acting in spite of fear can catapult your progress, whatever is it
- How to stay authentic in a world of social media and filters, or not
- And finally, a great tip for reconnecting with your worth even when you have a string of failures.
