In this reflective and honest episode of The Sober Butterfly Podcast, host Nadine Mulvina—sober since July 5th, 2021—shares her 2025 Sober Wrapped, inspired by Spotify Wrapped but rooted in real life.
Rather than focusing on perfection or aesthetics, Nadine breaks down her year quarter by quarter, rating and reviewing her experiences across travel, dating, goals, and mental health. This episode is a candid look at how sobriety can hold you through both expansion and emotional contraction.
Nadine reflects on pivotal moments throughout the year, including speaking at Podfest in Orlando, performing her first stand-up set sober, taking a solo healing trip to Barbados, and experiencing her favorite trip of the year in Iceland during the summer solstice with her mom. She also shares the behind-the-scenes reality of burnout, overworking, and navigating major life transitions.
On the dating front, Nadine opens up about long-distance heartbreak, emotional lows, minimal dating, and the clarity that came from stepping back and practicing discernment. She explains why there wasn’t enough dating content for a full Sober Dating Wrapped episode—and what she learned instead about intuition, peace, and self-trust.
The episode also highlights career milestones and redirections, including Pilates teacher training, unexpected endings that became blessings, and lessons around time, boundaries, and alignment. Ultimately, Nadine reminds listeners that growth isn’t always glamorous—and that a “good year” doesn’t always feel good while you’re living it.
This episode is for anyone navigating sobriety, transitions, heartbreak, burnout, or a season of becoming—and learning to trust themselves through it all.
