As Christal and Lisa wrap up an incredible first season of The Sober Freedom Podcast, they take a heartfelt look back at the powerful conversations and remarkable guests who have graced the mic.
Throughout the season, some key themes have consistently emerged — each shedding light on the complex and often hidden ways alcohol affects our lives:
How alcohol intensifies the challenges of ADHD, peri/menopause, anxiety, and overall mental and physical wellbeing
The early roots of drinking and the pressure to fit in
The strain alcohol can place on our closest relationships
What happens when our drinking habits begin to clash with our core values
That crucial moment when the negative impacts start to outweigh the benefits
The tipping point — and the courage it takes to make a change
And above all, bravery — in choosing honesty, vulnerability, and freedom
