Alcohol promised us the world, relaxation, confidence, better sleep, fun nights, deeper connections. But let’s be real… it rarely delivered. In fact, most of the time it gave us the exact opposite: more anxiety, less sleep, awkward social moments, guilt, and regret.
In this episode, the SoberFitGirl hosts Kathryn & Ewa expose the biggest scams alcohol sold us and share how we finally saw through the lies. From “liquid courage” that left us feeling insecure, to “stress relief” that only added to the chaos, we’ll break down why alcohol is one of the greatest marketing tricks of all time - and how life gets so much better once you stop buying in.
If you’ve ever thought booze was helping you, this conversation will show you how it was actually holding you back - and why sobriety is the ultimate glow-up. ✨
XOXO
Kathryn & Ewa

51. Red Flags in Our Drinking Habits 🚩🍷
Maybe it means you don’t just like wine… maybe it means you have a drinking problem. In this episode, the SoberFitGirl hosts get real about the red flags we ignored (or downplayed) in our own drinking habits, the subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs that alcohol was running the show.
Here are a few of the red flags we cover:
Drinking to cope with stress, anxiety, or emotions
Losing control and drinking more than intended
Alcohol impacting relationships, work, and daily life
Hiding or sneaking drinks, and lying about it
Feeling constant guilt, shame, or regret about drinking
If any of these sound familiar, it might be worth asking yourself: is alcohol really serving me - or is it holding me back?
This episode is here to remind you that you’re not alone, and that spotting the red flags is the first step toward creating a life that feels lighter, freer, and so much more you.

50. Connection Goes Both Ways
Here’s the truth: you can scroll TikToks all day, binge every sober podcast, and double-tap inspo quotes on IG… but that’s not connection—that’s consumption.
In this episode, we’re spilling the tea on why connection has to go both ways. It’s not just about listening—it’s about showing up, sharing, and letting yourself be seen. Because the real magic of sobriety? It happens in community.
This episode is your nudge to stop sitting on the sidelines and jump into the conversation. Because when you give + receive connection, you don’t just stay sober—you thrive sober.
