#67 Sitting with Boredom (and all the feels) (feat. My Mom)

This week I'm having coffee with Saz aka @sackedthesauce! Saz and I met in Toronto and became friends when she was first exploring sober curiosity, and she has now celebrated her 2 year sober milestone! We chat all about her sober journey, the impact of alcohol on our self-esteem and confidence (and how sobriety can turn that around!), the struggle of trying to make moderation work, and solo sober travel!
