A Sober Girls Guide Podcast

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.

Dating without alcohol? It’s not only possible, it’s powerful. In this episode, we’re joined by Sabrina Zohar, the no-BS dating and relationship coach you didn’t know you needed.

Sabrina is here to break down everything you need to know about sober dating. From navigating awkward first dates to building real connections without the liquid courage.

We get into:

What to do besides “grabbing a drink” on a date

How to define your standards and non-negotiables (and stick to them)

Calming your dating/relationship anxiety

How to know when it’s time to move to the next level in your relationship

Whether you're newly single, in a situationship, or healing from heartbreak—this episode is your sober dating cheat code. 🔐

Christina knows hard in a very real way. From the tragic loss of her father, to years of infertility, to overcoming alcoholism, to becoming a mother to a special needs child, her life has asked everything of her and then some.

Christina opens up about what it actually looks like to keep going when life keeps knocking you down. We talk about how she learned to find hope in the hardest seasons, not by bypassing the pain but by meeting it head-on. She shares how sobriety became a turning point, how motherhood reshaped her strength, and why getting back up isn’t about motivation, it’s about decision.
