EP 298: ZERO PROOF EXPERIENCES - “Sober in the City”

Host: Viv, aka Sober_iThrive Guests:  Susie Streelman, Founder Zeroproof Experiences and Peggi Cooney, Chief Connection Officer, Zeroproof Experiences.    Sober in the City hits the East Coast this Sept 8-10 in Portland, Maine!  Following four previous experiences held in Long Beach, Sacramento, Austin and Palm Springs, Sober in the City has turned into a nationwide movement where people can experience a luxury social event with everything but the buzz. Whether going out on the town for dinner, a movie, live music, or just catching up with friends – you know that none of it requires alcohol. Sober in the City shows attendees exactly what an alcohol free gathering feels like -- MAGIC.   Susie:   Former drinker of White Zin, Chardonnay, Red Blends and Sauvignon Blanc.  Currently standing over here, waving my arms.  Look!  Alcohol Free!  It’s super fun over here! She now collaborates with others to create experiences where connections are virtually guaranteed.  You’ll probably forget alcohol wasn’t invited after attending a Sober in the City experience but will likely walk away feeling empowered in your alcohol free lifestyle! Susie has two twenty something boys, and loves, golf, yoga and travel She ives in Long Beach with her husband of 31 years.    Peggi: All of my personality tests indicate that I am an influencer who always looks for ways to motivate people and drive enthusiasm! Susie is my perfect partner in this.  Giving up alcohol in 2019 gave me the life I didn’t know I wanted and a community I didn’t know I needed. As my ZPE title suggests, I love meeting and connecting with all people sober or sober curious who seek social interaction on a whole new level. In other words, I revel in showing people a good time and being the catalyst for new friendships.  Since 2019, I have made living an alcohol-free life my priority. In fact, in 2021, I wrote a book about it: “This Side of Alcohol.” I bring facilitation skills from my job as a social work instructor for a local university. ZPE/Sober in the City and Susie check all the boxes for me. I know they will for you too.
