So Helpful

This podcast has been a really great resource for me. I have quit in the past, and been successful on my own with the help of a lot of books, some of them written by guests here. This is the first time I’ve looked for a podcast to listen to, and it is truly so appreciated. It’s nice to know I’m not alone, and that so many of the feelings I’ve had are similar to other people. I look forward to continuing to listen and learn!

Can’t say enough good things!

Lori is a kind, accessible host, but she also packs a punch with information. This is about her ever-relatable midlife journey to being alcohol-free and to simply living well. She interviews wonderful guests too, but it’s the quality of Lori’s delivery that is so amazing. I always feel like she is speaking directly to me. I don’t miss an episode. Lori is a powerful, supportive voice in sober midlife living.

Hit home with me!

I felt your passion. I relate to your story. Today I am on my 31st day of sobriety, which I have tried and failed at several times. I have been listening to many podcasts about sobriety for the past year or more! At 65, and embarking on this journey, i appreciate the focus on an older woman who has struggled with alcohol abuse. For me, this was elevated after retirement! I doubt I am alone! Thank you for focusing “later-in-life” self discovery and positive change.

Committing to quit episode

Thank you for the episode about difficulty committing to quit. You were on fire, on point! I listened to it twice. I am 1 year sober January 7 2024 and I have been listening regularly. I have 2 challenges coming up this year my daughters wedding and a trip to Japan with my son. Will continue to persevere! Thanks again for you contribution to my life.

Love Lori

I’ve been listening to Lori’s podcast for over a year or more. She is so relatable and encouraging and I find a lot of practical advice from the content she creates and the guests she has on the show. This podcast is a true gift Lori gives for free and has helped me re-center my desire to live life more fully - which for me is best done with a lot less alcohol!! Thanks Lori for all you give to others!!

Inspiring, uplifting podcast

Lori is one of the most positive people you will ever listen to. She gives great advice about living a life free from alcohol. I loved the recent episode with Mocktail Mom. I plan to invest some time and money in having a few mocktails readily available. Was excited to learn that “mocktail mom” lives in KY where I also live.

Paying attention to our hunger

Lori, I just Love you!! You are my 2nd favorite Sober Sister next to Trish Lewis from Recovery Happy Hour; (who I happened to find in her last episodes) the year I decided to lead a sober life. I decided to lead a Sober lifestyle on July 18th 2021. I was 52 years old. I am 54 now!!:-0 I am blessed that I am married to my best sober friend, my husband Paul for 30 years!! He hasn’t drank since our college days. God has lead us on a Ketovore journey together slowly beginning in 2020. I realized that alcohol didn’t fit into my life anymore when I started getting more deeper into my health journey. Wendy Speake book; The Sugar Fast also helped me become aware that alcohol no longer was my friend. I feel like you are a good friend of mine and I’ve never met you!! I’m so blessed to have your helpful podcast in my life. I have decided to go back and try to listen to a lot of your podcasts from the beginning!!☺️ Thank you for EVERYTHING and your vulnerability that you share!! You are a Godsend!!!! God Bless you!!♥️🙏🏼💕

Empowering Women!

Lori’s podcast is a tribute to the magnificence of women through all the stages of their lives. Powerful and informative it both celebrates and challenges women to take action for making their lives more fulfilling. I especially loved the June 15th episode “IT’s NOT in YOUR HEAD” with Dr. LaMandre because health and wellness are so central to everything else we do in our lives and regrettably conventional medicine is failing us now. We know our bodies best and combined with a curious physician who listens and helps solve the mystery we can reclaim our greatest asset OUR HeALtH. Lori does a great job of finding guests and asking the poignant and powerful questions. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS GREAT PODCAST

Enjoyed this interview and have listened to it twice, I’m going to get her book. Lori’s interviews feel so relatable, I always take away good mojo and positivity.
Read before use

Lori is real, kind, smart and a GREAT resource for those interested in sobriety.

I was recently a guest on Lori’s podcast and as I prepared to my conversation with her, I binge-listened to previous episodes. I’ve been sober 17-plus years and I learn at least one thing from every single show. She is the real deal and you can tell immediately that she spends time preparing for her shows. She’s professional, well-informed, and deeply committed to helping the sober-curious learn more about the benefits of sobriety in midlife, while also offering plenty of great content for those who found their way to sobriety and now want to enhance their lives going forward. Each time I listen, I end up sharing the episode with a handful of people. I’m honored to have been a guest and anxiously await the day when my episode drops. In the meantime, I’ll continue to listen to the shows I’ve missed in the past. Keep serving the sober and sober-curious community, Lori! You’re a light. —Michelle Cox, Addicts to Authors©, Author Accelerator Certified Book Coach

Helpful beyond giving up alcohol

Today I hit 90 days without alcohol after multiple day ones over the last 5-6 years. I have tried so many ways to stop but honestly sober IG accounts and podcasts were what worked for me. I love Lori’s content and how it addresses more than just giving up alcohol. She wants us to live our best lives as we age (I’m 57) and I am so appreciative.

Terrific podcast!

Lori’s podcast consistently speaks to me. Substantive, entertaining, and educational. This podcast is just what I’ve been looking for to help support my sober journey.

So much inspiration here!

Lori is an inspiring, informative, and engaging host. All the topics and guest interviews are so relevant to living a beautiful life in sobriety….in any way we define that. As a 60-year-old sober woman who is an advocate for living a beautiful sober life, I appreciate how Lori asks insightful powerful questions and creates a wonderful space for meaningful conversations. I find myself feeling so inspired in every episode. Thank you Lori!

Showing Up for Life

I was recently a guest on Lori’s podcast and was struck immediately by her authentic vibe. She holds a space of openness and genuine curiosity for herself, and thus naturally for her listeners. And she is fun!!! Lori is toasting life with a glass full of commitment, clarity, kindness, and sharing. What a gift for all who listen.

So good

Wow. On my search for podcasts for women my age, I came across yours . I am listening to the interview with Mel about HSP. I am one. Can't wait to learn more and so thankful for your service Lori.

Please research your guests

Christiane Northrop is an extreme anti-vaccine COVID denier. She used to be more mainstream years ago but around the time of the pandemic became extreme. She has been banned several times from social media because of her extreme views. You do a great disservice to your listeners when you interview nut jobs like her.

Positive, living and learning experience

This is the 1st podcast that has caught my attention. I feel the love and connection coming from Lori. Lori’s voice and the way she delivers the message it’s as though we are bf for real. It means a lot to me thank you Lori.

Inspiring and Insightful!!

What an amazing podcast. I did some research and recommended this to an aunt of mine a few months back and she has thanked me on multiple occasions for sending it to her. Just sent it over to my mom who is nearing the age of 50 as well and am hoping for her to receive the goodness and love that Lori is providing for her audience!

Not Your Mom’s Midlife

Lori’s energy is infectious. I dare you to listen to just one episode! She breaks through the tired advice of grin & bear it, and shows you how to find contentment in the messy real world. It’s authentic, honest, and hilarious! Highly recommend! -Amber Beam, Career Coach

Inspirational and relevant

Love Lori’s podcast! It speaks to women in their midlife who may be questioning their drinking. She has very interesting guests who discuss a wide range of very relevant topics surrounding drinking and beyond. All of which is so inspirational and promotes joy, hope and excitement with entering this phase of our lives.

The Real Deal

I love listening to Lori because she gets to the raw, truthful nitty gritty right away and doesn’t talk AROUND issues...she speaks to the heart of the daily stuff we deal with. If a guest is talking and a question pops into my mind, within a minute Lori asks them the question I have. Her show is so real and it always resets my compass. Thanks Lori! Keep doing what you’re doing. Erin
