We're ending our first season by interviewing a guest we've long admired: Gill Tietz, creator and host of the Sober Powered podcast and YouTube channel! Gill is a sober scientist and public educator who interprets research on alcohol use disorder and recovery in terms anyone can understand. She's a pioneering voice in the recovery community, and we loved our conversation on the many empowering benefits of understanding our brains. In this episode, Adrienne also brings you a BIG SOBER ENERGY tip about reframing the "to do" list approach to recovery and structuring sober life more sustainably. Finally, Erin leads us in a delicious movement sequence designed to help activate the parasympathetic nervous system. We'll be back in the fall with more episodes! In the meantime, have a great summer, and keep in touch on Instagram and in our Facebook group!Related Links Sober PoweredSober Powered on YouTubeEpisode 43: Drinking to CopeEpisode 64: Alcohol and AnxietyBook a Free Visioning Session with Adrienne or Erinrevar

It's finally summer, and we're gearing up to get out of town! Vacations used to be drinking marathons for both of us, but (thankfully) we now have more time and headspace to spare while traveling. This week, we're focusing on how to plan for your sober vacation and maximize the benefits of being more present and hangover-free. Adrienne's BIG SOBER ENERGY tip reminds us that we don't have to live-stream our travels to prove we're having fun, and Erin leads us in a mindful knee bend that captures the power in tension and opposition. Doors are currently open for the spring/summer Intensive cohort. If you're curious, book a free visioning session with Adrienne or Erin, and we'll answer all your questions!

This week, we learned via a leaked Supreme Court opinion that the Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade; given this news, we decided to release an episode on the topic of abortion from Season 4 of Adrienne's other podcast, Feminist Hotdog. We at REVA have always centered bodily autonomy in our recovery work and feel strongly that scaling back access to abortion institutionalizes body terrorism. We hope this episode inspires you as a human and inspires you to fight this decision if it comes to pass. ___What do you feel when you hear the word abortion? What words do you associate with it? If you’re Amanda Star Kingsley, those words might be fear or sadness but they might also be strength, purpose, and light. Amanda is a post-abortion life coach. Her mission is to help people achieve the vision for their lives that compelled them to choose abortion. Through her coaching and her podcast, Speaking Light Into Abortion, Amanda is smashing stigmas and asking critical—and sometimes messy—questions designed to help h

When it comes to almost any recovery team, pets are the real MVPs. In this episode, we talk through a long list of ways caring for pets (and plants!) can support us emotionally, physically, and mentally as we learn to live without drugs and alcohol.

Can food help us recover from substance use disorder? The answer is YES, and our guest on today’s episode explains why. Nutrition coach Kiola Raines is passionate about helping people in recovery use food as a tool to boost their moods, lower anxiety, and nourish the parts of our brains that experience stress when we stop drinking. Hear her recommended list of “good mood food” and her suggestions for how to create a custom eating plan that supports your individual needs in sobriety. Kiola also brings us this week’s BIG SOBER ENERGY tip, and Adrienne talks us through a metta or “loving-kindness” meditation. Related LinksKiola Raines Nutrition CoachNutrition CalculatorAcademy for Addiction and Mental Health NutritionBook a Free Visioning Session with Adrienne or Erinrevarecovery.comREVA Holistic Recovery private Facebook group

Friendships can be some of the most rewarding experiences of our lives, but when we're drinking and using things can get...complicated. In this episode, we look back on how we functioned (or didn't) within our friendships while we were drinking, what has changed since we quit, and some of the challenges we didn't expect as sober people connecting with other sober people (especially during a pandemic). This week's BIG SOBER ENERGY tip offers some suggestions for how to deal with friends who fall under the category of "energy vampire," and Erin talks us through the subtle art of achieving an effective plank.

One upside of sobriety we did not expect was the validation of knowing our money no longer supports an industry that actively harms its customers and lies about the addictive nature of its product. In this episode, we uncover some of the gory details of how Big Alcohol functions, who it targets, and how it has fueled one of the most insidious myths about drinking and people with substance use disorder. We also take inspiration from author Craig Beck for our BIG SOBER ENERGY tip and Erin leads us in a delicious spinal stretch.

Today we hear about Erin’s long road with alcohol dependence and liver disease, from her first diagnosis of “fatty liver” to being told she might not survive the night in the hospital. It’s a tough story to hear, but one she’s 100 percent committed to sharing if it could help even one person avoid the hell she went through for so many years. In honor of this unusual episode, we decided to combine our movement and BIG SOBER ENERGY segments to bring you an extended interoception practice, something we can all use to help us connect more deeply with our bodies (including our livers!).Related LinksLet’s Talk About Alcoholic Liver DiseaseSober Powered: Everything You Need to Know About CirrhosisAlcohol-Related Liver DiseaseDr. Veronica Loy on Instagram: @ladylivertransplantdoc

How has recovery influenced our integrity? In this episode, we look back at our former selves with compassion and talk about how we saw ourselves striving to live in integrity even when hiding and minimizing our drinking made it difficult. We explore the problematic narrative that having substance use disorder automatically means someone is not living in integrity, and the flip side of that narrative: that drinking is a “truth serum” (also fake news!). This week’s BIG SOBER ENERGY tip challenges us to get radically honest (it’s harder than you think!), and Erin leads us in a delicious stretch designed to keep our hips and legs in alignment.
