Welcome to the Sober & Lit Podcast—where living alcohol-free gets to be bold, empowered, and dare we say… fun.

In this episode, Susan and Ruby ask the question so many of us avoid: Is there ever a “right” time to change your relationship with alcohol?
Spoiler: That time might just be now.

As the air shifts and September energy rolls in, they're breaking down why this season is prime time to start fresh—no rock bottom required. Think: new routines, back-to-school vibes, and momentum that’s practically begging you to start something instead of quit something.

You’ll hear about:

• The sneaky trap of “I’ll stop tomorrow” thinking
• How the Groundhog Day cycle of drinking keeps us stuck
• Real stories of transformation after just 30 days alcohol-free
• Why curiosity is the new willpower
• And how a simple self-hug (yes, really!) can calm your nervous system better than wine ever could

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to explore sober curiosity or take a break from drinking—this is it.

Tune in, grab your favorite AF drink, and let’s light up your September with possibility.

Plus, we’ll tell you how to join our live Feel Lit 21 Live program for Sober September.

Welcome back to the Sober & Lit Podcast! In this episode, Ruby and Susan sit down with guest Lauren O’Hanlon—better known as Coach Lo—a certified life coach, former bartender, and ex-mommy-wine-culture enthusiast.

Lauren opens up about her personal journey from hiding her drinking behind closed doors to creating a life of clarity, confidence, and genuine connection. Together, they dig into the realities of mommy wine culture, why alcohol became such a normalized coping tool for mothers, and how tolerance and secrecy can creep in without us noticing. Lauren shares the vulnerable moments in her marriage and social life that prompted her to get curious (instead of judgmental) about her relationship with alcohol, and how that curiosity ultimately transformed everything.

Plus, the trio discusses the power of a supportive community, embracing imperfection, and finding new ways to “feel lit” and fulfilled—alcohol free. Grab your favorite AF beverage and join us for an inspiring and honest conversation about making alcohol small and living life big!

What if “sober” wasn’t a label to hide—but a vibe to celebrate?
In this bold new chapter of the podcast, your hosts Susan Larkin and Ruby Williams unveil the rebrand from Feel Lit Alcohol Free to Sober and Lit—and the deeper why behind the name change. Is the word sober finally being reclaimed? What happens when you stop whispering your alcohol-free life and start owning it, proudly and publicly?

Ruby and Susan get real about the evolution of their own sober identities, unpack the tension between terms like “alcohol-free,” “recovery,” and “sober,” and explore how Gen Z, wellness culture, and sober celebrities are reshaping the conversation. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the language—or wondered if choosing not to drink can actually make you feel cool, clear, and confident—this episode is for you.

Starting September 1st, join Ruby and Susan for a 21-Day Alcohol Reset Program with weekly group coaching that keeps you motivated, supported, and celebrating your wins.

Come connect this September and let’s make this the month you start to feel lit, alcohol-free.
