OPC 018: Little Kate Donnelly – Releasing the Pressure

Meet Little Kate of the SoberKates and the co-host of The After Party Podcast. She’s sober and has just celebrated her four year soberversary. Kate found herself in a decade-plus long hole of alcoholism when what started out as fun was no longer funny.

In this episode of Omar Pinto Coaching, Kate shares her alcoholism journey that started at 12 years old and her sobriety journey that started 4 years ago. She dives deep into the negative feelings that pushed her to alcohol, the positive ones that kept her there, and the painful ones that got her out.

Listen in to learn why you should look within and make choices that are for your own happiness and not what others want.

“Build the confidence to make your own choices and build your own path.”- Little Kate
