In this episode of the Love Sober Podcast, Kate and Helen explore summer sobriety and how to build a realistic, compassionate summer toolkit using ideas from Kate’s book “Love Your Sober Year.” They talk about seasons, hormones, grief, parenting, and why women need a softer, cyclical approach to recovery – plus lots of very practical tools for getting through summer alcohol-free.
We cover:
- Why seasons and cycles (monthly, yearly, life stages) matter for women in recovery
- The pressure of “perfect summer” energy and how to lower expectations
- Practical summer toolkit ideas: AF + nootropic drinks, electrolytes, fans, seasonal food, simple rituals with kids
- How to plan for big days out, holidays, and comedown days without using booze
- Turning “I should be drinking” moments into chances to protect memories, honour grief, and stay connected
