What if ditching alcohol is the exact thing that sets your creative fire ablaze?

In this electrifying episode of Sober & Lit, Coaches Ruby and Susan sit down with actor, writer, and founder of Creative Sobriety, Kristen Baer—a powerhouse voice redefining what it means to be an alcohol-free woman in a world soaked in wine culture. From stage lights to mom life, Kristen shares how choosing sobriety in February 2020 became the radical act that set her free—from self-doubt, perfectionism, and societal expectations.

What happens when you stop numbing and start expressing?

This episode dives deep into how alcohol subtly silences women’s power—and how sobriety becomes the amplifier. Kristen opens up about how creativity, authenticity, and connection exploded once she put down the glass and picked up her voice. You’ll hear about her journey navigating the entertainment industry, parenting pressures, and the toxic normalization of drinking to cope.

We’re talking:

  • Creative confidence in sobriety
  • Busting the “mommy wine” myth
  • Why Gen Z is ditching booze (and leading a sober revolution)
  • How women in midlife are reclaiming joy and voice
  • And why being alcohol-free is anything but boring

Whether you’re sober-curious or alcohol-free and fired up, this episode will inspire you to show up louder, bolder, and more lit than ever—without a single drop.

👉 Tune in now and find out what’s waiting for you on the other side of drinking. Spoiler: it’s not deprivation—it’s creative liberation.
