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

This season has been nothing short of transformative. Whether you’ve been with us since Episode One or just discovered us, thank you for listening, sharing, and connecting with us through the @sober.freedom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram community.
