Susan from Hola Sober Magazine: Embracing Creativity in Sobriety
“Sometimes when we're drinking, we're not as good as a parent because we're constantly compromising. Similarly, with people in our world - family, friends - we don't take crap because we didn't take talk shit last night.”

In this episode of 'Alcohol Free Life', Janey Lee Grace chats with Susan, the founder of Hola Sober Magazine, about how giving up alcohol can unlock new levels of inspiration and creativity. Susan opens up about her personal journey, sharing how sobriety has not only improved her mental health but also boosted her creative output.
