In this week’s episode I’m sitting down with mum of three, podcast host and sober coach Teri MacGilbert, aka @SassySoberMum. Teri grew up in an environment where daily drinking was the norm. As an adult she came to find herself being drawn to alcohol as a way to comfort and manage stress. After a few short sober stints, Teri ditched the drink for the last time in April 2019 and hasn’t looked back. In choosing the sober path, Teri has broken a generational drinking cycle and is now an example to her daughters that she can be proud of. Teri’s life has grown exponentially over the past four years and her story is proof that you truly can do it all in sobriety! Some of the topics we cover in this conversation include: Gaining extra hours and how to maximise them – 7:25 The normalisation of booze – 18:48 Finding comfort and consequences – 25:00 Being a dry drunk – 29:09 Making peace with relationships – 33:50 Being a sober and present mum – 39:35To see Teri’s Behind The Smile photo, head to Ash’s website.
