Ep. 299: How To Restart Sobriety Differently In 2026 | Dry January Is Just The Beginning

Happy January 1st—and happy Day 1 of Dry January (if you’re doing it). I love that this episode drops on the very first day of 2026 because if you’ve been thinking, “I can’t do another year like last year…” this is your sign.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by two of my favorite humans (and two of my best sober friends): Gill Tietz from the Sober Powered Podcast and Suzanne Wayre from The Sober Mom Life Podcast. The three of us have been “text buddies” for over five years (yes, it’s basically a full-time job), and we wanted to get together to help you make this Dry January different—especially if you’ve tried before and found yourself back in the drinking cycle by Day 4… or Day 14… or the infamous second Friday in January (aka “Quitter’s Day”).

We’re talking about what actually helps you keep going when motivation fades, real life hits, and your usual reasons for drinking show up (stress, boredom, parenting, work, relationships, feelings… and yes, even IKEA furniture).

If you want 2026 to feel better, calmer, clearer, and more like you—this episode is for you.
