In this special episode of the Happiest Sober Podcast, Sarah is joined by her mom to delve into the inspiring topic of starting the New Year with sober intentions. Recording under the warm glow of holiday lights, they share their personal journeys of growth over the past year, emphasizing the shift from traditional resolutions to more meaningful intentions. Sarah reflects on her decision to get back into reading and how setting intentions rather than resolutions has shaped her outlook.
The conversation also touches on the importance of making mental health care more accessible and affordable. Sarah introduces RULA, a service that partners with over 100 insurance plans and offers therapy at an average copay of $15, highlighting the need for mental health support that fits within one's budget. As they discuss personal growth, the duo encourages listeners to practice gratitude for their achievements, even if they have recently embraced sobriety.
This reflective practice is inspired by the book 'The Unexpected Joy of the Ordinary', which suggests writing a letter to oneself from a year ago to recognize progress and accomplishments. Fashion also emerges as a theme, with Sarah expressing her desire to step out of her comfort zone and explore new styles. This journey of self-expression is likened to overcoming the limitations placed by others' opinions and embracing one's own sense of style.
The episode is a heartwarming reminder that every new day is an opportunity for growth, self-love, and celebration of one's journey, sober or otherwise. As Sarah and her mom toast to the year ahead, they invite listeners to join their community at Happiest Sober Hub, offering support and connection as they embark on 2025 with hopeful intentions.
