This Is Way More Than a Sobriety Story with Sarah Alaimo, Author of "Pearls and Probation: Adventures of an Alcoholic Good Girl"
Description
In this powerful episode, host Kristen Rocco sits down with Sarah Alaimo, strategic fractional HR leader at Elevate Consulting Collective and author of the memoir Pearls and Probation: Adventures of an Alcoholic Good Girl.
Sarah opens up about her deeply personal journey to sobriety, but this isn’t just a story about addiction—it's a story about courage, identity, reinvention, and choosing to become the best version of yourself.
Even if alcohol has never been your struggle, you’ll walk away from this conversation with a deeper understanding of what it means to make bold, life-altering changes, to face your truth, and to pursue a life aligned with who you really are.
Sarah shares what it was like to navigate the high expectations of being a “good girl,” the hidden pain behind a polished exterior, and the moment she realized she could no longer keep living the same story. Her vulnerability, honesty, and clarity offer so much more than a recovery roadmap—they’re a guide to personal transformation.
“I didn’t see anybody out there who looked like me who was speaking out about the process,” Sarah says. “And I just decided that there are a lot of other ‘good girls’ out there who might be afraid to start that journey and need to see someone who looks like them or has a similar story.”
Sarah proves that when you stop hiding, you start truly living, and she invites all of us to pause, reflect, and ask: What would it look like to live more honestly?
