In this episode, Sara sits down with Beth Feraco of Beth Feraco Fitness to talk about quitting drinking, rebuilding her identity, and creating a sustainable approach to fitness and weight loss. They discuss the connection between alcohol and disordered eating, why extreme diets fail, and how simple habits like sleep, walking, strength training, and consistent nutrition can change your life.

Beth also shares why your health plan should fit your actual life, not the life of a fitness influencer, and how sobriety helped her stop wasting days and start building a life she truly loves.

Sara sits down with her friend Chelsea Bohnstedt, a yoga instructor and certified sound healer, to talk about her powerful alcohol-free journey. At the time of recording, Chelsea is 562 days sober, but her path to get here was far from linear.

Chelsea opens up about:

• Hitting rock bottom after repeated starts and stops, and how a medical crisis finally became her turning point.
• The kindling effect. A dangerous neurological response that makes withdrawal symptoms worse each time you quit and start drinking again.
• Finding recovery through SMART Recovery and Y12SR (Yoga for 12-Step Recovery) after struggling to connect with traditional AA.
• Healing anxiety, rediscovering peace, and embracing the beauty of a “boring life.”
• How yoga, meditation, and sound baths helped her reconnect with her body and spirit, and why spirituality doesn’t have to look “religious.”

Sara and Chelsea also share stories from their time together at the Sober Tahoe Adventure Retreat and reflect on how sound healing and self-care practices can unlock powerful emotional healing.

• Kindling is real. If you've started and stopped many times, it can make withdrawals more severe and even life-threatening. Always consult a doctor for support when quitting.
• Peace is the new thrill. Sobriety gives you back your time, energy, and clarity.
• Spirituality can be simple. Connection, mindfulness, and presence count just as much as prayer or religion.
• Self-care is rebellion. Taking care of yourself and living with intention isn’t boring, it’s revolutionary.

• SMART Recovery Meetings
• Y12SR – Yoga for 12-Step Recovery

“Taking care of yourself is the most rebellious thing you can do. Especially as a woman.” – Chelsea Bohnstedt

In this episode, Sara talks with sober content creator and author Hadley Sorensen about quitting drinking, blackout drinking, moderation, mommy wine culture, and the pressure to make alcohol part of a “healthy” lifestyle.

They also unpack their complicated pasts as Beachbody coaches, including the ways alcohol, fitness culture, and MLM-style marketing became intertwined. Hadley shares why she chose an alcohol-free life without identifying as an alcoholic, what socializing looks like now, and why none can be easier than trying to moderate.
