Episode 226:  3 Triggers to Watch Out for in a Sober Summer (and How to Handle Them with Confidence) 

In episode 226, Courtney Andersen chats about typical Summer triggers for sober and sober-curious folks to be prepared for in your journey.  If you're navigating an alcohol-free lifestyle, summer can come with some sneaky emotional triggers.

From patio season to beach days and late-night hangs, it’s not always easy to hold your ground, especially when everything around you says “just one drink won’t hurt.”

What you'll learn:

  • How to handle “vacation mode” brain when your routines go out the window
  • What to say when you're the only one not drinking at a BBQ
  • How to stop romanticizing alcohol in those dreamy, golden-hour moments
  • Your first sober summer is the hardest - it does get easier with each passing year
  • You're modeling clarity for yourself and possibly inspiring others around you

Whether you’re on day 1 or year 5 of living alcohol-free, this episode will help you move through summer with more confidence, clarity, and self-trust.

No tips that make you feel like you’re “missing out.” Just real talk, mindset shifts, and grounded support.

Thank you for listening, and I hope this episode helps you today!
