The Sober Mom Life

Registered Nurse and Sobriety Coach Kate Vitela is here to remind you that no matter where you are on your sobriety journey, you are always allowed to change. Kate shares the story of how alcohol became a way of life for her as a young nurse and how her attempt at switching to cannabis wound up unraveling her life in a way that led to full sobriety. She also shares about her experiences with AA. Originally a program that changed her life, Kate felt after a couple of years of sobriety that she no longer wanted to identify as an ‘alcoholic’. This choice led her to unexpected backlash that led her to step away from the program and develop her own. Kate is now a sober coach and sober podcaster focusing on a message that blends science, spirituality, real stories, and humor to create a recovery approach that’s authentic and empowering. Work with Kate: www.katevitela.com Follow Kate On IG: @katevitelaAre you craving a community in sobriety?

There’s a problematic message in our society that tells us that we only need to quit drinking if our drinking looks ‘that bad’. You know the kind - Meg Ryan in When A Man Loves a Woman or Nicholas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas. This message can cause so many challenges for women on their sobriety journeys. It can make them second guess themselves about whether or not they need to quit drinking, even as their personal relationship with alcohol becomes more and more negative. But what if you reframed this message? What if you stopped asking if you were ‘that bad’, and started asking if alcohol was that bad? How would this change your perspective? Are you craving a community in sobriety?

Fellow Wisconsinite and sober coach Heather Lowe loved the way alcohol made her feel from a very young age. She kept her fears that she might have a problematic relationship with alcohol under wraps for decades, until a flurry of life changes and tragedies led to her begin to ‘drink her grief’ instead of feeling it. Heather wanted to blame everything but alcohol for the ways in which she felt like she was losing her grip, so much so that she began to try ‘sober experiments’ to prove to herself that alcohol wasn’t the problem. She was surprised to find, though, that she was feeling better and better during her periods of sobriety.Quitting for real felt terrifying. A longtime party girl, Heather couldn’t imagine losing friends through such a big life change. The honest truth was that she did lose friends, but she developed a much more important friendship along the way - a deep and meaningful friendship with herself. Now seven years sober, Heather works with women in all stages of sobriety to help them navigate their own sober journeys. She wants you to know: There is so much potential in sobriety. Give yourself the chance! Learn more about Heather: www.ditchedthedrink.comInstagram Are you craving a community in sobriety?

Today’s Real Sober Mom, Jennifer, is celebrating one year of sobriety! To celebrate, she is coming full circle and telling her story here on the podcast after feeling so supported by other women who have shared their stories in the same space. Alcohol found its way into Jennifer’s life through her older brother, and as they became adults a culture of partying became central to her family dynamic. This family dynamic weaved its way through her relationship with alcohol, even as she navigated liver issues in her twenties and cancer in her thirties. Jennifer began to question her relationship with alcohol after she completed treatment for colon cancer. Once she realized that she was a ‘gray area drinker’ she began to explore quit lit and hired a sober coach, but it took some time for sobriety to fully ‘click’ for her. The Sober Mom Life community served as a major turning point for Jennifer as she realized for the first time that she wasn’t alone. With a year of sobriety under her belt, Jennifer shares about how sobriety has impacted her family dynamic, and how finding new ‘tools’ to cope in place of alcohol has made all the difference in her life. Are you craving a community in sobriety?

Texas born Lauren knew how to operate without alcohol. Though she was a heavy drinker in high school, she learned early on through her mother’s cancer journey that sometimes sobriety was necessary in order to attend to life’s challenges. It wasn’t until she was a mom of two that alcohol became a crutch that she consistently leaned on. Lauren chose to leave her career when she had her second child, and the resulting identity crisis she experienced was jarring. She turned to alcohol because it was one of the few things that helped her feel like herself. When Covid hit, alcohol became even more central to her life, but she continued to feel worse and worse. She had a turning point when she listened to the classic Huberman Lab podcast about alcohol’s effects. For the first time she wondered: what if alcohol was the problem? Twenty-six days of sobriety seemed to show her the truth. She felt so much better sober, in every way. A girl’s trip at the end of her sober stretch resulted in major FOMO, though, and alcohol slipped back into her life. This began a years long teeter totter of sober curiosity until she found Fresh 30 within the Sober Mom Life Cafe. The small group experience gave her the support she needed to feel seen and understood. Lauren has stayed sober since last summer, and has been a regular in the Cafe, Fresh 30, and on the retreat. She is so grateful for the support she’s received in this community! Join Us on The Sober Mom Life Retreat February 26 - March 1, 2026 in Mexico! https://thesobermomlife.com/2025/07/11/the-sober-mom-life-retreat-is-here/Pre-orders are available for my book!

Last week I recorded the audiobook version of my book, and you guys, it was one of the most intimidating experiences of my life! I had been dreading the recording experience, and it made me second guess even writing the book in the first place. I had so much self doubt - could I do this? Would I fail? Would I die of embarrassment?! I did it anyway - I faced my fear and I think it turned out great. Today I’ll talk about what it took to get me through my fear and how I continue to work through the feelings of fear and self doubt that arise whenever I try new things. I want you to know - don’t wait until you’re confident to try something you feel called to do. Do it scared. You will make it to the other side, and you will be so proud of yourself for doing the hard thing! 25 Lessons for 25 Year Old Me (From my Substack)Join Us on The Sober Mom Life Retreat February 26 - March 1, 2026 in Mexico! https://thesobermomlife.com/2025/07/11/the-sober-mom-life-retreat-is-here/Are you craving community in sobriety?

Real Sober Mom Julie grew up in a family where, throughout the years, alcohol became increasingly present. As a young adult, her mother’s relationship with alcohol had become so difficult for Julie to bear that she asked her mother to leave one day after she came to visit her. As Julie became a mom, alcohol found its way more deeply into her own life through Mommy Wine Culture. While she never experienced a ‘rock bottom’, something started to feel increasingly off. She felt like an bad mom and less and less like herself. After opening up to her husband about her challenge it all came into focus - she did not want to be a mom who drinks, and she did not want her daughters to have a mom who drank. Quitting, however, was a challenge. Julie attempted dry Januarys and dry weeks, but she could never make it very far. Community ended up being the game changer that Julie needed. She has now achieved 10 months of consistent sobriety with regular support from the Sober Mom Life Cafe! Julie is so happy to be able to give her daughters a childhood with a sober mom, and she is so grateful to the community of other sober moms who have made her feel supported in the way she needs to maintain her sobriety! Are you craving community in sobriety?

Growing up in Ireland, Aisling came to understand that having an ‘alcohol problem’ required a really high bar. Either you were a raging alcoholic, or your relationship with alcohol was fine and not worth examining. As a child, though, Aisling disagreed. She found drunk people terrifying. Looking back? She thinks that young Aisling had it right. Today Aisling shares her sobriety story, starting as a college student who didn’t make it through school due to her habit, and culminating as a new mom who felt buried with shame each time that alcohol threw her off track. Aisling believes that sobriety is her superpower. It allows her to show up as her best self in every corner of her life and brings so much joy to her days. She wants you to know that this reality is available for you, too! Follow Aisling on Instagram!You can read Aisling’s story in my upcoming book!
