Description

Hi, I'm Lindsay Hennekey, Sober Coach and Founder of Feel Good AF. This is a podcast for women who are sober or sober curious, looking for support in navigating a life without alcohol. I'm so glad you are here. 


You may be thinking: What does an alcohol-free life look like for me? How do I live a life without drinking that doesn’t feel like I am missing something? How do I move beyond alcohol and into the elevated version of myself that I know is inside of me. 


You are a hardworking, high-achieving, successful woman in so many areas of your life, who deserves to find a solution to the one big issue that has been holding you back. The solution exists and that's what this podcast is all about. 


Each episode we'll cover one area of the Feel Good AF methodology - why moderation doesn't work, what to do when you have a slip, how to celebrate milestones, where you will find your alcohol-free community - and everything in between. 


You'll be hearing a lot from me, but I'll also be bringing in a wide range of incredible women to share their stories, expertise, tips & advice, and so much more. Follow Feel Good Alcohol-Free wherever you get your podcasts, and subscribe to my YouTube channel for video episodes. Thanks for listening!


Lindsay is your sober coach, not a health professional. If you are chemically dependent on alcohol, consult your doctor on the steps you need to take to safely detox.
