In this refreshing episode of Sober Banter, hosts Rachel and Colin sit down with Sarah Kate, founder of Some Good Clean Fun and a proud sober Canadian mom shaking up the world of non-alcoholic beverages. Once a self-proclaimed wine connoisseur, Sarah shares her transition from alcohol culture to alcohol-free confidence, offering candid stories about social pressure, parenting, and building a brand that celebrates sobriety without shame.

Together, we talk about:

• What it’s really like to keep alcohol in the house when you’re sober
• How media and marketing have warped our views on drinking
• The emotional and practical impact of quitting alcohol on family dynamics
• And yes—a mocktail recipe you’ll want to try tonight (spoiler: it includes non-alcoholic beer and tonic!)

Whether you're sober curious or a longtime non-drinker, Sarah's warmth, wit, and wisdom will leave you inspired to rethink the role of alcohol in your life—and maybe even mix up a Summer Shandy along the way.
