Laura got sober in 2020 and started sharing on TikTok right away, but didn’t say anything at work for a long time. It wasn’t shameful. It was fear. Fear that if she didn’t stay sober, everyone would know. Fear that people would assume she had a problem, even though she did.
She talks about hiding it, compartmentalizing her drinking around conferences, and the moment someone walked up to her at a meeting and said, You’re part of my sober story. That was the shift. She began to notice how many people were watching, how many were quiet about their own stories, and how loud hers actually was.
We got into the gray area of drinking, peer pressure, and how sometimes people just don’t want to drink but feel like they have to. Laura shared how Sober Life Rocks started after she asked one question at a wellness panel, and 15 percent of the room raised their hands. That turned into a movement, a book, and now an entire conference.
She’s also deep into AI. Not in a weird tech bro way, but in a real, helpful way. Using it like a tool. Like a buddy. Research, writing, brainstorming, and offloading all the things. We’re not pretending it’s perfect, but it’s helping. Just like sharing your story does.
