Send us a textYou quit drinking, you're feeling lit, and suddenly… real life crashes back in. Now what?In this milestone 90th episode of Sober & Lit, Coaches Susan Larkin and Ruby Williams get radically honest about the messy, beautiful, non-linear reality of life after alcohol. Because yes—sobriety brings clarity, joy, and deep transformation… but it doesn't come with a magic wand. What happens when the unicorns disappear and you're still dealing with family tension, career pivots, sleep struggles, or your own inner critic?Have you ever asked yourself, “Shouldn't I be happier by now?”Ruby and Susan pull back the curtain on their own post-alcohol journeys—sharing the tools, mindset shifts, and community support that helped them navigate everything from financial fear to burnout to unrealistic expectations of ‘wellness perfection.' They explore emotional sobriety, building new emotional coping muscles, and the freedom that comes from being imperfect and empowered.Whether you're newly alcohol-free, sober-curious, or deep in your journey, this episode is a warm reminder: you're not doing it wrong if life still feels hard sometimes. You're just doing it human.

Today on the show, I speak with Natasha Williams.  She has an MA from the University of Pennsylvania and attended the Bread Loaf School of English and the Bread Loaf Writers Conference. Her memoir and debut book, THE PARTS OF HIM I KEPT (Apprentice House. 2025), is an intimate account of a daughter's coming of age in the face of her father's schizophrenic unraveling. Williams investigates the limits of our medical and cultural understanding of schizophrenia while chronicling the shared burden and benefits of caring for a mentally ill family member. In the tradition of Ocean Vuong's On Earth We Are Briefly Gorgeous and Robert Kolker's Hidden Valley Road, this is one family's story that asks us to consider the ways mental illness is as much a social issue as a biological condition and illuminates ways we find hope, and even thrive in the face of the extraordinary challenge of mental illness.Excerpts and essays have been published in the Bread Loaf Journal, Change Seven, LIT, Memoir Magazine, Onion River Review, Writers Digest, Writers Read, Post Road, and South Dakota Review.Today Natasha shares about her childhood and the special if not sometimes challenging relationship she had with her farther. We get a glimpse into the stories she shares in her book and the reasons for writing it. It's more than a personal story, it's a window into what we're lacking broadly in society when it comes to what we value and how we care for each other.She'll be in PROVINCETOWN, MA, Saturday, October 4, 2025. Event details HERE. Then in HIGH FALLS, NY, Sunday, October 26th, 4pm, 2025 at Blue Heron Books, 1209 NYS Route 213.

Horory čteme, koukáme na ně, bojíme se a milujeme to. Právě o tom, z čeho a proč máme strach a co nás na tom láká, si na živém natáčení podcastu Lit povídali Kateřina Surmanová, Petra Klabouchová a Tonda Tesař.

Send us a textWhat if ditching alcohol is the exact thing that sets your creative fire ablaze?In this electrifying episode of Sober & Lit, Coaches Ruby and Susan sit down with actor, writer, and founder of Creative Sobriety, Kristen Baer—a powerhouse voice redefining what it means to be an alcohol-free woman in a world soaked in wine culture. From stage lights to mom life, Kristen shares how choosing sobriety in February 2020 became the radical act that set her free—from self-doubt, perfectionism, and societal expectations.What happens when you stop numbing and start expressing?This episode dives deep into how alcohol subtly silences women's power—and how sobriety becomes the amplifier. Kristen opens up about how creativity, authenticity, and connection exploded once she put down the glass and picked up her voice. You'll hear about her journey navigating the entertainment industry, parenting pressures, and the toxic normalization of drinking to cope.We're talking:Creative confidence in sobrietyBusting the “mommy wine” mythWhy Gen Z is ditching booze (and leading a sober revolution)How women in midlife are reclaiming joy and voiceAnd why being alcohol-free is anything but boringWhether you're sober-curious or alcohol-free and fired up, this episode will inspire you to show up louder, bolder, and more lit than ever—without a single drop.

In this episode of Lit with Charles, I speak with Alexander Starritt, author of the novels We Germans (2020) and Drayton and Mackenzie (2024).We Germans is a devastatingly humane wartime confession: an elderly German writes a long letter to his British grandson about serving on the Eastern Front, with the grandson's present-day interjections sharpening the moral contrasts between war and ordinary life. Drayton and Mackenzie is a rare, gripping business novel that follows two friends from graduation into the high-stakes world of building a clean-energy company, where private choices collide with macro forces - finance cycles, technology, and industrial realities.We talk about structure (letters, interjections, and the occasional omniscient lens), how fiction can engage with the “big stuff” shaping our lives (economics, climate, technology), why industrial solutions - not apps - sit at the core of decarbonisation, and how character is revealed gradually, the way real people change. We also explore Alexander's rural upbringing, German heritage, and the literary influences that inform his work - from Larkin's melancholy clarity to Tolstoy's vast social canvas.If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review and follow me on Instagram @litwithcharles.Alexander Starritt's four picks were:“Dockery and Son,” by Philip Larkin (1964)The Shipping News, by Annie Proulx (1993)Red Plenty, by Francis Spufford (2010)War and Peace, by Leo Tolstoy (1869)

Jaké to je, když jste si jistá, že dítě nechcete, ale váš partner po něm touží? Své o tom ví Majka Kukačková, která téma zpracovala v knize Pažitková smyčka. V podcastu Lit mluvila o rozhodování, které jí změnilo život, i o tom, proč ji mrzí, že se lidé soustředí spíš na její vietnamský původ než na téma knihy.

Send us a textAre Sober People Missing Out… or Finally Tapping In?Welcome to Sober & Lit! In this episode, Ruby and Susan bust one of the biggest lies about sobriety: that going alcohol-free means missing out on fun, freedom, and connection. Is it true—or have we just been sold a clever illusion?What if the real fear isn't missing out—but never fully showing up?What if quitting drinking is the invitation to finally feel lit from within?We unpack the FOMO myth, spill honest stories about navigating social events sober, and share how ditching the drink actually amplified joy, confidence, and community. We also explore how social media and drinking culture fuel comparison, and what happens when you flip FOMO into JOMO—the Joy of Missing Out.Expect resources, real talk, and personal practices that light you up.If you've ever wondered, “Will I lose my social life if I quit drinking?”—this episode is your empowering reframe. Spoiler: what you gain might just blow your mind.

In this episode of Lit with Charles, I speak with Ben Pester, author of the novel The Expansion Project.Blending corporate satire with surrealism, The Expansion Project follows Tom, who brings his daughter Hen to Capmeadow Business Park for “Bring Your Daughter to Work Day.” When Hen vanishes without a trace, Tom's reality begins to unravel. Decades later, an unnamed Archivist pieces together the story from the ruins of the mysterious “Expansion Project.”We discuss Ben's approach to structure, surrealism, and storytelling, and the books that have influenced his creative process.If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review and follow me on Instagram @litwithcharles.Ben Pester's four books were:Way Far Away, by Evelio Rosero (2024)Sweet Home, by Wendy Erskine (2018)Something Happened, by Joseph Heller (1974)Self Portrait in Green, by Marie Ndiaye (2005)

Today we're joined with Dr. Angela Weisl who you will soon learn is not only an accomplished Medieval Literature scholar but a passionate and very wise/learned (using a Medieval term) English professor. Angela joins us from Seton Hall University where she has taught everything from Literature of the Adolescence (YA Lit), Chaucer (all things The Canterbury Tales), Medieval Lit, and Women's Lit. Angela has been teaching at Seton Hall since 1995 where she has served as both Director of Graduate Studies and the Chair of the English department. There is so much pedagogical ground that we cover with Angela including why she's so passionate about teaching Medieval Lit. since it allows her to explore contemporary issues through a historical lens. And if you don't know about Beowulf, you definitely will be convinced to read it after this conversation. As the previous chair of the English department, Angela explains how she made clear to both students and colleagues that English majors develop incredible critical thinking, reading, and writing skills that are valuable across many career paths! She also addresses how rapid changes in technology has not only changed our students' learning habits, but it requires us to rethink our own teaching approaches.

Send us a textWhat if eating more could actually help you feel better, weigh less, and ditch the drink for good? In this powerful episode of Sober & Lit, Susan and Ruby sit down with Dr. Ginny Trieweiler—a psychologist, certified health coach, and author of Slender for Good After 50—to unpack the radical idea that you don't need restriction, calorie counting, or alcohol to feel lit, vibrant, and free.Ginny gets real about her own midlife transformation: facing down chronic pain, prediabetes, emotional eating, and nightly drinking—and the four mindset and nutrition shifts that helped her reclaim her health without ever going on another diet. Together, we dive into how alcohol and food often share the same emotional roots, why “less is more” is a myth, and how to break the cycle of overdrinking and undereating once and for all.If you've ever said “I'll start Monday,” wrestled with weight or wine, or felt like you were too old to change, this episode is your permission slip to nourish, rebel, and rise. Tune in and discover how food freedom and alcohol freedom go hand-in-hand—especially after 50._______Ginny's website: https://slenderforgood.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@slenderforgood/Get the book for only $4.99:  slenderforgood.com/slender-book_______Don't forget to follow and subscribe and leave a review!

This week, we're doing something a little different. Normally I'm the one asking the questions, but today, in the name of bringing new voices into the conversation, I'm handing the mic over to someone who usually works behind the scenes on the Lit With Charles podcast – Liv. In this episode, she speaks with British author Amy Twigg, whose fantastic debut Spoilt Creatures follows a 30-something woman as she joins an all-women commune in rural Kent, and falls down the rabbit hole in all that entails. I hope you enjoy it!Lit with Charles loves reviews. If you enjoyed this episode, I'd be so grateful if you could leave a review of your own, and follow me on Instagram at @litwithcharles. Let's get more people listening – and reading!Amy Twigg's four books were:Frankenstein, Mary Shelley (1818)I'll Be Gone in the Dark, Michelle McNamara (2018)Little Eyes, Samanta Schweblin (2018)The Haunting of Hill House, Shirley Jackson (1959)

This week, we continue our discussion of Jane Austen's Sense And Sensibility. How does Colonel Brandon's awkwardness communicate his honesty? How do we understand the backstory of Willoughby and Eliza? Is John Dashwood or Robert Ferrers worse?To see the video broadcast of this episode, click here; to see the slides, click here!Don't forget to check out my new Tolkien-related show, Shire Reckoning!Next week, Volume 3, Chapter I (37) to VII (43) of Sense and Sensibility, live on Patreon on Thursday, September 11th at 9PM Central.Footnotes:Sense And SensibilityA Calendar for Sense and SensibilitySense And Sensibility (1995)Stars And Swords on Bookshop.org To join me for the live YouTube broadcast, to support the podcast, to join the conversation on Discord and to get access to monthly bonus episodes, please visit Patreon.com/NextWord and pledge your support!  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Guitarist/Songwriter Jeremy Popoff with Lit rejoins the show to ask whether we can forget about the thing he said when he was drunk.  He didn't mean to call me that.  After we patch that up, we promote this Friday's appearance by the 'Clay & Buck Theme Song' band at the annual Shadow Ridge Music Festival.

Send us a textWhat if your story—the one you're scared to tell—is the very thing that could set you free?In this powerful episode of Sober & Lit, Ruby and Susan sit down with Ann Dowsett Johnston, bestselling author of Drink: The Intimate Relationship Between Women and Alcohol, whose work cracked open the cultural myths around "mommy wine culture," female high-functioning drinking, and the billion-dollar marketing machine targeting women. With raw honesty and journalistic fire, Ann shares her personal unraveling—and what it took to rebuild a life rooted in purpose, recovery, and reinvention.We ask her the big questions:

[REDIFFUSION]Lauren Bastide dort peu, aime travailler la nuit en buvant du thé. Elle fume, pas beaucoup, mais déjà trop. Lit beaucoup, mais jamais assez. Au milieu de ses passions engagées dans le féminisme, Lauren trouve un certain équilibre grâce à l'amour de son chien et à ses déconnexions régulières des réseaux sociaux. Elle retrouve souvent la nature aussi, pour toucher la lenteur, les cycles naturels, sentir l'odeur des champs et écouter le bruit des oiseaux au réveil.  De la rédaction chez Elle au Grand journal sur Canal + en passant par C8 et France Inter, elle est aujourd'hui l'animatrice du podcast Folie Douce, qui sensibilise sur la santé mentale. Et puis elle écrit, aussi, des livres, et une newsletter que je vous recommande chaudement de lire : La Douceur.Avec Lauren, on parle d'écriture, de féminisme, de succès, de ce qu'est être adulte, de réseaux sociaux et de liberté. C'est un échange intime, et j'espère que vous terminerez cette écoute avec l'envie folle de vous engager.Belle écoute ! ☀️ ---Si tu as aimé cet épisode, tu peux le partager, écrire un commentaire dans la description et laisser des étoiles sur ta plateforme d'écoute ! ---

Today's guest is a truly remarkable creative – novellist, screenwriter, playwright, producer, past resident of the Royal Court Theatre, co-founder of the Harvard Human Rights Journal, winner of the John Cassavetes Award for film, as well as the first American to receive a fellowship to the European Court of Human Rights. I spoke with Alice Austen about her debut book, 33 Place Brugmann, which is a suspenseful, emotive portrait of a Brussels apartment block during the Second World War. It's always a pleasure to speak with such a fascinating polymath, and I hope you all enjoy listening.Lit with Charles loves reviews.

Ever stared longingly at that stack of unread books on your nightstand, wishing for just a few uninterrupted days to dive in? You're not alone. A fascinating new travel trend is emerging in 2025 that might be the perfect solution for book lovers everywhere: reading retreats.Imagine yourself sipping wine on a veranda overlooking mountains or ocean, completely absorbed in a novel without a single interruption. No chores calling your name, no meetings to attend, just you and your books in a beautiful setting. These literary escapes are selling out within hours of being announced, particularly from companies like "Ladies who Lit" that have tapped into our collective desire for meaningful, quiet getaways.The appeal goes beyond just finding time to read. These retreats create a unique social atmosphere where you're surrounded by fellow book lovers who respect your space while sharing your passion. Breakfast conversations might lead to unexpected book recommendations or discussions about favorite authors—socialization entirely on your terms. It's particularly ideal for solo travelers seeking both independence and connection. Since 2020, Americans have increased their spending on recreational books by nearly 23%, and reading retreats represent the logical evolution of this renewed literary interest. They offer not just an escape but a form of self-care that allows us to return home refreshed and inspired, often motivating participants to create their own reading nooks at home to continue the experience. Ready to book your literary getaway? Take our survey linked in the show notes to share what kind of retreat experience would speak to you!SURVEY on RETREATS: click link below to respondhttps://forms.gle/YuoYiQwfevccTkV78Support the showhttps://www.cherylbeckesch.com Instagram @solotraveladventures50Facebook community: Solo Travel for Women Over 50 https://www.facebook.com/groups/860865768609200

THE VIBE with Kelly Cardenas presents CHRIS CARDENAS - CARDENAS LEGACY TEQUILAChris CardenasPresident & FounderOriginally from Southern California Chris moved often, splitting his time between California and New Mexico, where his paternal family is originally from. After migrating up to Northern California for high school and college, he made the life-changing decision to join the US Air Force, where he served as an Aerospace Propulsion Specialist for over 4 years and called Alaska his home for the next 17.While living in Alaska, an opportunity arose for him to pursue his dream of being involved in the music industry. He became a concert promoter for indie bands such as Portugal the Man, Daughtry, 3OH3, Falling in Reverse, Fuel, Lit, and many more. It is there he met who would eventually become his wife, and took Chris south of the border to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Now, the big question: Why Tequila?Like many of us, Chris' experience with drinking low-quality, high-additive tequila was not a good one. However, while living in Mexico for over 3 years and becoming immersed in the culture, he took the time to learn the art of making a high-quality sipping tequila that was truly enjoyable.In 2017, Chris decided to retire from the music industry and relocate his family to Santa Clarita, CA. As a thank you to all his music industry supporters, he wanted to offer a quality tequila personalized and branded with his promotion company logo, Anger MGMT. He found a company in Guadalajara, Mexico that not only made the bottles but introduced him to what would eventually become the journey to his own tequila brand.Upon tasting that tequila, Chris was convinced this was what he was meant to do. Finding who made this amazing tequila was not an easy task, but after months of missing leads and relentless persistence, he was introduced to Francisco Gonzalez Jr, currently our master distiller and member of one of the most prestigious families in the tequila world. This is how Cardenas Legacy Tequila was born.Chris now resides in Santa Clarita, CA, with his wife and their three daughters, the oldest is currently attending the Coast Guard Academy. Chris combines his airline job and his passion for premium tequila by educating and sharing Cardenas Legacy Tequila with the world.
