I loved recording this episode with Emily Killeen. Emily is a sober community leader who I have collaborated with in the past, and I previously had her on the show a few years ago, when she shared her inspiring sober story. The theme of our discussion on this episode, which was recorded live in Sober Girls Club, was what it really means to be "Happy, Sober and Free" but when I reflect back on the talk, the theme that really showed up in this episode for me was having the courage to start again. When we last connected over three years ago, Emily had built up her dream of building her own retreat centre with her then husband. Since then, her husband left her, they sold the retreat centre, and she's left her entrepreneurship career to start a new career as a sober companion. What I truly admire in this episode is Emily's vulnerable share, her standing in her truth, and really demonstrating for all of us what it means to have the courage to start again.

In this episode, Emily speaks about her Happy, Sober, Free Sedona Summit, which is happening in 2025. You can book this event here. https://www.happysoberfree.com/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR0FL8J7f7_H1NbriWYng8ixLkA2IZTtce62nyaH9g_no7sgDItIan3GLgI_aem_vGk0Hc9gh4M52II3u0lm8w#/%E2%81%A3

I LOVED sitting down with Cindy Payne and recording this episode of Sober Yoga Girl Podcast together. Cindy is an absolute inspiration. When she was a few months sober, she googled alcohol free women's retreats in Bali...and that's how she ended up on the Sober Girls Yoga 2023 Bali Retreat! :) Since then Cindy has gone on to complete our Online 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training, join the India 2024 Sober Girls Yoga Retreat, and be a crucial member of our community, joining our Sunday Sober Girls Yoga Meetings. I genuinely mean it when I say Cindy is an absolutely inspiring woman and I'm sure if you listen to this show you will feel that way about her too!

I loved recording this episode with Jay Chase. I had Jay on the show in 2022. In this episode, we connect and catch up. Jay is one of the most positive and uplifting people I've connected with on this story and I find his sober story inspirational (scroll back to the first episode we did together to hear it!) In this episode we talk about how his life has shifted in the last two years (including becoming a dad!) The context of "protecting your mindset" and one of his takeaways from the last year of developing a system. We speak about the role that faith plays in his life and his necessary self care practices to keep him well. Tune into this episode of Sober Yoga Girl Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts!

I loved sitting down with Sasha Quince in this episode of Sober Yoga Girl Podcast! Sasha and I go way back to our Abu Dhabi days, when we were both yoga teachers in Abu Dhabi.
Sasha Quince saved her own marriage in 2017 by healing past trauma, overcoming love fears, breaking family patterns and building emotional safety within. Her own journey empowered her to mentor women to do the inner work to heal and as a result attract and sustain love that lasts. Sasha knows relationships are hard and believes we don't have to figure it out alone, we deserve to come together and learn, how to create healthy lasting love!

In this episode we discuss:
- Sasha's journey with conscious love - what led her to this work, and why she is so passionate about it.
- Advice she would give to women in sobriety who wake up and realize that their relationship is no longer fufilling to them
- Advice to women who are re-entering the sober dating world
- Debunking dating/relationship myths

And more! Give this episode a listen - you will LOVE it! You can discover everything Sasha has to offer here. https://linktr.ee/sashaquince

I loved recording this episode with one of my YTT Graduates, Carolyn! Carolyn is originally from South Africa, but has been living in the Middle East for several years. She completed her YTT online with me in 2022, and since has gone on to teach yoga in her workplace and also lead her first yoga retreat to South Africa! In this episode we speak about Carolyn's experience in the medical industry working in finances, which led her to relocate her family to the Middle East. In this episode she speaks about the mental benefit yoga gave her for her stress in a hectic and high responsibility job. She also talks about overcoming Imposter Syndrome as a newly graduated Yoga Teacher, her journey to start teaching yoga in her workplace and leading her first retreat in South Africa, and the commitment it takes to keep showing up even when it is discouraging when no one shows up to your class. I think she is an amazing person and so inspiring!

In this episode I sit down with Gina Lawrence, who is an all around magical sober woman! She holds a PhD and is a witch and teacher who uses tarot, yoga, reiki, and astrology to guide others on their healing journey. She has been sober since January 1, 2022. In this episode, Gina tells her sober story, and how it leads her to leave her marriage and go on a healing journey to Mysore, India. Her trip to India was supposed to be a month - but it's now been more than a year! As a 500-hour Yoga Teacher and Reiki Master, Gina creates a welcoming space influenced by her time in Mysore, India. Passionate about travel, cuisine, and life's magic, she helps others find meaning in the mystical.

Gina can be found at risenm.com or on Instagram @rise.nurtured.magic
