In this heartfelt and grounding episode, I sit down with my beautiful friend Katrina Umback—widow, mum, daughter, sister and friend—for a conversation that explores grief, healing, and the choice to live a sober curious life.
Katrina has been sober on and off throughout her life, but it was after the devastating loss of her beloved Scotty that her relationship with alcohol came into even sharper focus. As the only parent her children had left, her own health and wellbeing became a non-negotiable. And in a world where alcohol is so often seen as the default in times of pain, Katrina found herself questioning the norm and reflecting deeply on how drinking made her feel.
She shares how she came to realise that alcohol wasn’t supporting her grief or her healing—and made the empowered choice to explore another way.
Katrina opens up about the tug of war between the societal norm of drinking and staying aligned to her values. She speaks with raw honesty about navigating that space—how choosing clarity over numbness has shifted her weekends, her presence, and her connection to what matters most.
This conversation is a powerful reminder that sobriety doesn’t always come from hitting rock bottom—it can come from choosing to honour your heart, your health, your healing, and the people you love.
This is a story of resilience. Of inner strength. Of choosing a path that might not be easy, but feels true.
We are so grateful to Katrina Umback for sharing her story with us.
