Ep. 175: The Sobriety Reset You Didn’t Know You Needed w/ Heather Pennell

from The No More Wasted Days Podcast · host Sara Kaufman-Bradstreet

Heather Pennell is back on the No More Wasted Days podcast, and this episode feels like catching up with an old friend. In this conversation, Sara and Heather talk about Heather’s five-year alcohol-free anniversary, what life has looked like since stepping away from the podcast, and how she has been rebuilding after a season of burnout, health challenges, major life disruptions, and emotional overwhelm. Heather shares what helped her begin to feel more regulated, including slowing down, creating calmer mornings, delaying phone use, supporting blood sugar, and increasing her window of tolerance. She also opens up about emotional sobriety, taking up space, letting go of “nice girl” conditioning, and learning how to live alcohol-free in a way that feels grounded, calm, and sustainable. This episode is a reminder that alcohol-free living is not just about removing alcohol. It is also about learning how to care for your nervous system, protect your energy, and build a life you no longer need to escape from.   Resources and Links: Join the Day Makers Community Looking for alcohol-free support, weekly group coaching calls, and a private community of like-minded alcohol-free badasses?
