#160 Worried About People Judging You for Your Sobriety? (feat. My Mom)
2025/12/09
One of the greatest challenges of getting sober is the fear of other people judging you for it. Maybe you're afraid of being labelled as an "alcoholic" or being viewed as the problem. Maybe you're navigating people telling you that you "weren't that bad" and to "just have one". Or maybe you're worried about people thinking you're a boring buzzkill now that you're no longer drinking with them. In this episode, my mom joins me for a chat all about letting go of caring what others think about our sobriety - and in doing so, stepping into our own power and freedom.
