Mocktails, Crushes and Shooting Your Shot: Kelly & Ryan Get Messy
Episode Overview
- Sobriety doesn’t have to end the party; swapping in quality non-alcoholic drinks can keep socialising fun.
- It can be necessary to cut off toxic friends to protect recovery, career goals and mental health.
- Old crushes and past relationships might deserve a second chance, so shooting your shot can be worth the risk.
- Gossiping about friends can permanently damage relationships, making discretion and loyalty essential.
- Structured workouts and coaching, like Orangetheory, can help rebuild confidence and strength after major life changes such as pregnancy.
“We have nothing to lose but to evolve… reach out to the person, shoot your shot.”
How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? This episode of Mocktails Or Messy throws you straight into the chaotic, funny and surprisingly tender friendship between Kelly Mizgorski and Ryan Frankowski, with a can of Katy Perry’s non-alcoholic De Soi in hand. You’ll hear them compare mocktails and wine, joke about “the messy drinker” and chat about Ryan’s seven months alcohol-free while still chasing fun and connection.
The conversation jumps from Kelly’s growing real estate hustle and open houses to her expanding menagerie at home, adding a birthday kitten to a household already packed with pets. Ryan talks about cutting off a toxic friend to protect his sobriety and new career, and the two dig into boundaries, “excommunicating” people, and sometimes loving friends from afar.
Dating gets delightfully chaotic as Ryan confesses a long-standing crush on a high school sweetheart and wrestles with whether to “shoot his shot” and reach out: “We have nothing to lose but to evolve… reach out to the person, shoot your shot.” Kelly happily appoints herself his accountability coach, promising to hold him to that text. They also revisit old memories, laugh about learning to snog together as teens, and wonder how accurate memories really are.
You’ll also catch a candid chat about body image and fitness as Kelly joins Ryan at Orangetheory after years of pregnancy-related limitations, wanting to feel strong and confident again while Ryan celebrates how quitting booze has sharpened his mind. Tonally, it’s fast, raw, and full of cheeky humour, but underneath the jokes are real themes: sober fun, boundaries, self-awareness, and rebuilding life in a way that actually feels good.
If you like recovery talk mixed with mocktails, messy stories and big laughs, this might be your next play—so whose shot are you ready to take in your own life?
