When you quit drinking, you go through periods of learning how to parent yourself on your alcohol-free journey. Whether you're a parent, child-free, or somewhere in between, Sara and Heather dive deep into the power of becoming your own inner caregiver—your inner mother, father, or adult—and how sobriety makes space for that transformation.

In this conversation, we explore what it looks like to truly take care of yourself with the same love, structure, and consistency you'd offer a child. Inside the episode: Why learning to "adult" again is a key part of early sobriety The power of reclaiming routines like brushing your teeth and feeding yourself regularly Shifting from external validation to inner trust and rest Managing money, clutter, and time without avoidance or overwhelm Reconnecting with your purpose and relationships—starting with you Why small goals build big confidence How to know when your life needs “mothering” and what to do about it The 8 Pillars of Self-Parenting These are the daily acts and deeper commitments that help you build a secure, alcohol-free foundation: Self-Care – From sleep and skincare to hydration and medical appointments Feeding Yourself Well – Cooking (or assembling!) meals regularly and planning ahead Goal Setting – Starting with small wins to build self-trust Keeping a Clean Space – Creating visual calm and organizing in a way that works for you Money Management – Moving from avoidance to awareness and setting up systems that support your growth Healthy Relationships – Cultivating connection, patience, and presence with others Time Management – Saying no to overbooking and learning to slow down Purpose & Work – Letting go of old identities and tuning into what lights you up If you're feeling off in any area of life, these eight pillars—and their four overarching themes (Health, Home, Purpose, and Community)—can help you pinpoint where your inner parent needs to step in.

If you've ever asked yourself that question, this episode is for you. In this heartfelt solo episode of The No More Wasted Days Podcast, Sara shares how quitting drinking can spark a powerful identity shift—and why that's actually a beautiful thing. This episode is a deep dive into the process of reconnecting with your true self after years (or even decades) of using alcohol to shape your personality, soothe stress, or define your social life. Sara offers encouragement, real-life examples, and four actionable strategies to help you peel back the layers and rediscover the real you. What You'll Learn in This Episode:

John Eberhart is a self-taught hunter and considers that to be one of the main reasons he does things outside the norm. He attributes his success on the very fact that he wasn't mentored by relatives or friends on old school hunting methods. He learned through trial and error and due to his serious nature, desire to succeed and attention to detail, through the years he's developed tactics and strategies that have equated to consistent success on mature bucks in heavily pressured areas. Catch John's seminars and meet him at Huntstock Massachusetts this year at Wildwood Farm in Westminster, MA August 8th-10th.

In this laughter-filled episode of No More Wasted Days, Sara and Heather take on a question that so many people secretly (or not-so-secretly) wonder when they stop drinking:

In this short and soul-nourishing solo episode, Sara explores one of the most underestimated tools in the alcohol-free toolbox: nature. Whether you live near a forest, a city park, or just have a porch to step out on, this episode will inspire you to reconnect with the outdoors and use it as a powerful tool for healing, grounding, and restoring your sense of peace. Sara shares her personal story of rediscovering nature through a sober lens and explains how alcohol subtly disconnects us from the present moment—and how nature can help bring us back. What You'll Learn in This Episode:

Would you date someone who says all the right things, never ghosts, always listens… but isn't real?

Sara shares a recent emergency with her husband's health, and together she and Heather reflect on the tools, mindset shifts, and daily habits that can help you stay alcohol-free—especially when life feels chaotic or overwhelming. Life doesn't wait until it's “convenient” for you to be alcohol-free. Whether it's a personal crisis, unexpected health emergency, or just the weight of world events, stressful situations will come—and they'll test your resolve. In this episode of No More Wasted Days, Sara and Heather get real about what it's like to navigate life's curveballs without turning to alcohol. What You'll Learn in This Episode:

Ever feel like if you're not doing something perfectly, it's not worth doing at all? That's all-or-nothing thinking, and it can sabotage your progress—not just in sobriety, but in every area of life. In this episode of No More Wasted Days, Heather and Sara dive into why this mindset is so harmful, how it keeps you stuck, and what to do instead. Whether you've struggled with feeling like one drink means total failure, or you tend to abandon goals the second they don't go perfectly, this episode will help you shift your thinking, embrace progress over perfection, and build the resilience you need for long-term success. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✅ What all-or-nothing thinking is and why it's so common in sobriety. ✅ How perfectionism keeps you stuck and leads to self-sabotage. ✅ Why setbacks don't erase your progress (and how to reframe them). ✅ The difference between a pressure-driven mindset vs. a growth mindset. ✅ Strategies to challenge all-or-nothing thinking and stay consistent. Key Takeaways: Progress is Cumulative – One setback doesn't erase everything you've achieved. Perfection is a Trap – Success is a spectrum, not an all-or-nothing game. Reframe Setbacks as Data, Not Drama – Every misstep is a learning opportunity. Identity Shift is Key – Instead of saying “I'm trying to quit drinking,” say “I'm someone who prioritizes my health.” Small Steps Lead to Big Wins – The 1% Rule: Just get 1% better each day. Memorable Quotes: “You don't have to be perfect to be making progress.” “One drink doesn't erase all the work you've done. It's a moment, not the whole story.” “Your alcohol-free journey isn't an on/off switch—it's a process of growth and self-discovery.” “Instead of waiting for the ‘perfect' time, start where you are and adjust along the way.” Call to Action:

With St. Patrick's Day around the corner (and plenty of other drinking-heavy holidays throughout the year), navigating these occasions without alcohol can feel overwhelming. In this short and powerful episode, Sara shares practical strategies to help you stay confident and alcohol-free, no matter the holiday. Whether it's St. Patrick's Day, Cinco de Mayo, or the 4th of July, you'll learn how to ditch the FOMO, handle social pressure, and create new holiday traditions that actually make you feel good.

Because let's be real—divorce isn't just about closing a chapter; it's about stepping into a life filled with freedom, adventure, and bold new choices.

If you've ever told yourself, “I deserve this drink after a long day,” you're not alone. In this episode of No More Wasted Days, Sara and Heather dive into the Mom/Caregiver Drinking Trap—why so many caregivers turn to alcohol to unwind, why it doesn't actually help, and how to break free from the cycle. Whether you're a parent, a caregiver, or in a helping profession, this episode will help you rethink self-care and create healthier ways to recharge. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How caregiving roles (as a parent, teacher, nurse, etc.) contribute to stress and burnout. The connection between mom guilt, perfectionism, and drinking. Why alcohol actually makes parenting (and life) harder. The Rebound Effect—how alcohol increases anxiety rather than relieving it. Four powerful strategies to replace alcohol with real self-care. Key Takeaways: Redefine Self-Care – Alcohol isn't self-care. Real self-care means rest, connection, creativity, and movement. Let Go of Perfectionism – “Good enough” is enough. Find Community – You don't have to navigate this alone—surround yourself with like-minded support. Create a New End-of-Day Ritual – Replace the “wine o'clock” habit with something that actually helps you unwind. Call to Action: Your next step: Reflect on how your parenting or caregiving would feel different without alcohol.
