Hey y'all! 

Welcome to a very special episode of the Creative Sobriety podcast! We recorded this conversation in front of a live audience at Killjoy-Nashville's first and premier non-alcoholic bottle shop. 

My guest is the lovely Cait Madry, co-founder of Clearheaded, an online guide for "Sober-Care." In addition to the website and social media platform, Clearheaded is also a podcast! I was a guest on Cait's show and was incredibly grateful when she agreed to come on mine and let me ask the questions. 
Cait is an actor, entrepreneur, and sober tastemaker. Her goal is to create the GOOP of sobriety with her company, Clearheaded, leaning into the value of the "Sober-care routine," sophisticated NA beverage market, and modern approach to living #intheclear.

We talk about Cait's journey to sobriety and how she came to the decision to ditch the booze for good as well as the creative life and what lies ahead for Cait in her sobriety journey. We also take a few questions from the audience at the end of the episode so stick around until the end. 

A HUGE thank you to our sponsors Hiyo and Killjoy!! Follow along with the exciting things happening with both of them. @drinkhiyo and @killjoy_nash
Another giant thank you to Sara Ashcraft, Cait's partner/co-founder of Clearheaded.co, for running our tech and sound for this event! @sara_m_ashcraft

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!! Keep in touch @creativesobriety on IG and check out my new Substack at http://kristenbear.substack.com

Hey, y'all! I'm so excited to bring you this conversation today with Amy Darling. Amy is 37 and lives in Nashville, TN. Her sober date is 9/15/20 but she has maintained her sobriety from hard drugs since 2018.
Amy is a rockstar through and through. She is a frontwoman of a rock band, a DJ, and has style and charisma for days. 
I think her story is a beautiful example of the non-linear path of healing and self-discovery. Amy shares experiences from LA to London to Nashville with biting honesty and beautiful self-awareness. 
She's such a testament to retaining that wild, artistic spirit in sobriety, and proof that you can be sober and still ROCK N' ROLL. 
Follow her on social @amyxdarlingx to peep her killer vintage finds and stay up to date on her upcoming shows and DJ sets. 
Enjoy!!

Love,

Hey y'all! Welcome back, so happy to bring you an all new episode today with the lovely Andrea Howard.  
Andrea's sober date is 1/1/23. She is 31 years young and a former NFL cheerleader who currently works as a model and actress based in Nashville, TN. Andrea and I actually have the same talent agent so we talk a lot about the industry and how sobriety is necessary to keep your competitive edge. She shares her journey to sobriety with us, acknowledging the role childhood trauma plays in our choices to numb and escape vulnerable emotions. Andrea's story is unique in the sense that she knew she wanted to quit drinking for a long time, but kept partaking in social scenarios despite no real desire to drink. This one may be for you if you're not necessarily a problem drinker but have a gut feeling that it may be time to eliminate substances completely to reach a higher level in life. 
This conversation is so fun! We discuss everything from acting class to dating and I hope you find some inspiration from Andrea's story. I know I did! 

ALSO!!! Spots are filling up for the Costa Rica trip in October, so please reach out if you're interested in booking or have any questions. As always, follow me on Instagram for more details and to stay connected to all things @CREATIVESOBRIETY 
Love y'all!
