Kristen Beckett, sober coach and the voice behind Mocktails & Marathons, joined us for this honest and powerful conversation. Kristen shares her story from growing up in a heavy drinking culture in Wisconsin to navigating motherhood, postpartum struggles, and how alcohol slowly became something she relied on just to get through the day. Her journey is incredibly relatable. From hiding alcohol to multiple wake-up calls, she opens up about what it actually took to change and why it’s not always one big “rock bottom” moment. We also talk about the power of community, daily habits, and what life looks like on the other side. The relationships, the presence, and becoming the kind of mom you truly want to be. Kristen now helps women feel less alone on this journey and shows what’s possible when you keep going. This episode is honest, emotional, and such a powerful reminder that you’re not alone and that a better life is possible

In this quick Mexico check-in, Jaime talks with her mom Jules, who is now two weeks into her first alcohol-free vacation. With margaritas, beer, and old habits still all around, Jules shares what’s coming up for her now and how she’s navigating cravings in real time. They talk about what shifts after the first week, discovering mocktails and new routines, and why even when the thought crosses her mind, she knows it’s not worth going back.
