#122 How to Rediscover Fun in Sobriety Through Play: A Coffee with Kara Latta, the Playful Warrior
A common fear a lot of us share when we're thinking about quitting drinking or just starting our sober journeys is that life will be boring without alcohol. We've spent most of our adult lives believing the lie that alcohol not only makes life fun, but makes *us* fun. What if I told you that the opposite can be true? And there are actually endless ways to have the most fun while sober? And that we can access our most playful and joyful selves without alcohol? In today's episode I'm chatting with Kara Latta, aka the Playful Warrior, about how we can embrace play and rediscover fun without alcohol, and the incredible ways our lives will start to transform when we do.
