It's a group of people that are no longer willing to do what society's dictating that they have to do.
Think sobriety is dull and dreary? Laura McKowen and Holly Whitaker are here to flip that notion on its head in Episode 61 of the HOME Podcast. Titled 'Uncool', this episode dives into the stigma surrounding sobriety and how societal perceptions can make the journey seem isolating and unappealing.
Laura and Holly share their initial beliefs about sobriety before they quit drinking, how those views evolved, and what it truly means to live alcohol-free in a world that often doesn't understand or support that choice. But it’s not just about tackling misconceptions. The hosts explore deeper themes like breaking free from societal norms and tribal expectations. They discuss the unsettling but liberating phase of 'groundlessness'—that period when you're redefining your life and identity without alcohol.
This conversation is as much about finding personal strength as it is about community support, highlighting the importance of surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals who understand your journey. Laura and Holly's candid reflections offer a refreshing perspective on sobriety, showing that it's far from 'uncool'. Instead, it’s a path filled with personal growth, inner freedom, and authentic living. If you’re struggling with societal judgments or feeling lost in your sobriety journey, this episode offers both solace and inspiration.
