Served Up Sober the podcast

Follow the signs, don't get lost in your own desert...

Everybody cycles, either with little bumps in the road or big peaks and valleys. The trick is to plan for it.

Just my thoughts on how what people do can charter the direction our lives go -- if we let it.

There's nothing wrong when things don't work out the way you want them to. When you find your niche, the struggles won't feel like struggles.

Probably not a good idea to list me as the emergency contact -- unless its truly an emergency. In this episode we take a look at what happens when my phone rings at 4AM!

You can get inspired, but until you "put in work" all you have is inspiration. This episode started as a random few minutes and ended up being quite a bit more. Plus a special cameo from Ms. Glam who drops nuggets of knowledge at the close.

Once upon a time, before you chased the high, you were chasing sleep. What most addicts and alcoholics really want is to quiet the mind. What does sleep look like in recovery? How do you nurture a sleep routine that’s reliable? Learn all this and more in this episode.

At what point does "your story" become too much? What separates speakers from motivators? Do we glamorize our addiction exploits? All this and more is discussed in this honest critique of how we share our past lives with one other in our search for common ground.

This episode explores why sobriety is hard in the beginning. Topics include "your sponsor may not like you", "learn to love what "sucks" and "too much time to not enough time". Shari introduces us to her first year of sobriety and touches on how losing her dad and five others kept her sober.

In this first episode of Served Up Sober the Podcast, Shari, founder of the ever evolving brand, discusses the challenges we all face when we want to start something new but ego gets in the way. What would happen if we just started? Why do other people's opinions matter? Brief discussion of Ryan Holiday's book Ego Is The Enemy.
