Episode Overview

Divorce is more than the end of a marriage. It’s the unraveling of routines, identities, and visions of the future. In this episode, Heather opens up about navigating divorce while staying sober, and what it means to rebuild self-trust when the ground feels shaky.


Sobriety brings clarity, but that clarity can be overwhelming when you’re used to numbing or deferring decisions to others. Heather shares her raw experience of facing big life choices without alcohol, learning to sit in discomfort, and discovering strength in her own intuition.


Sara and Heather also highlight the importance of community support, the challenge of breaking old relationship patterns, and the quiet resilience that comes from keeping promises to yourself—even in the smallest ways.
