What if the real magic isn’t just in quitting drinking—but in everything that comes after?
Welcome back to the Feel Lit Alcohol Free podcast! In this episode your hosts and alcohol freedom coaches Ruby Williams and Susan Larkin get real about what happens after you put down the glass.
From unexpected emotions to surprising wins, they’re sharing the raw, beautiful, and sometimes messy truth about what it really looks like to grow, evolve, and rediscover yourself alcohol-free.
- What do you do when the pink cloud fades?
- How do you keep going when no one else around you is on the same path?
- And—most importantly—where does the joy actually come from?
Ruby and Susan also reveal their brand-new program, Feel Lit 4 Life, created to help you build lasting freedom and find your people on this empowering journey.
If you're tired of the all-or-nothing narratives then get ready for honest, hopeful conversations about what it means to feel fully alive without alcohol—this episode is for you.
