What happens when you take alcohol out of the equation? According to this week’s guest, Abby Calabrese, you get deeper connections, a clearer mind, and a whole lot more fun! Abby is a mom of two, a passionate advocate and coach for alcohol-free living, and the host of The Alcohol-Free Coterie podcast. After years of navigating social drinking norms, Abby found freedom in sobriety and is now on a mission to help others do the same.
In this episode, we get into it all—how alcohol is pushed as a “normal” part of life, why the “drink responsibly” message falls flat, and how choosing an alcohol-free lifestyle opens the door to authentic friendships. Abby shares her journey to sobriety, the moment she knew she had to stop drinking, and how non-alcoholic beverages have made her transition easier (spoiler alert: she's a huge fan of NA wines and just won a case of her favorite!).
We also talk about the growing sober movement, the rise of alcohol-free bottle shops, and why mocktail culture is here to stay. If you’ve ever worried that quitting drinking means losing your social life—think again! Abby’s story is proof that the best connections happen when we show up as our true selves. So hit play and let’s raise a mocktail glass to making choices that truly serve us!

In this episode, I sit down with the amazing Kate Taylor who has become an influential voice on Instagram for those seeking a sober lifestyle. Kate opens up about her journey of breaking free from the "detox to retox" cycle and the over 1000 days of sobriety she now celebrates. She shares the pivotal moment of recording a heartfelt message to her future sober self, which lit a fire inside her to stay motivated and finally quit alcohol.
We dive into the real stuff — how alcohol led her to isolation and self-deception, how quitting drinking changed her friendships and her marriage (spoiler: it's so much nicer now), and the clarity and freedom that comes with sobriety.
