Hi friends!
In the last few weeks I have LOVED relaunching Sober Yoga Girl Podcast, and sharing brand new episodes with you.
I wanted to highlight some of the new episodes in case you haven’t yet had a chance to listen!
Jen Hirst’s Journey to Sobriety
What happens when looking like you have it all together hides how much you’re struggling?
Today’s guest is Jen Hirst, sobriety coach and founder of Lighthouse Sobriety. After years of using alcohol to cope with stress, anxiety, and the pressure to be perfect, Jen rebuilt her life in recovery. Today, she helps others find their own path to an alcohol-free life through mindset work, healthy habits, and compassionate support.
Jen’s story offers an honest look at the struggles that can stay hidden behind outward success—and hope for anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol.

"Sober Minded" to Alcohol-Free "Un-covery" with Celeste Cosgrove
What if healing is about uncovering who you’ve always been beneath the hurt, the coping, and the expectations?
In this episode, Celeste shares her journey from becoming “sober minded” in 2002 to living alcohol free in 2016—and why she calls her ongoing healing “uncovery.” She reflects on how her addictions changed forms over the years, and the longing for connection, belonging, and worth beneath them.
We explore her search for something more beyond sobriety, the Bali retreat that changed her relationship with yoga, and what it means to approach the practice as a “work-in.” This is an honest conversation about meeting yourself with compassion, questioning the expectations you’ve carried, and making space for who you truly are.
Listening to the Body’s Wisdom: Trauma, Family Patterns & Self-Connection with Adriana Keniz
What becomes possible when we slow down and listen to the body? In this episode, Adriana shares insights from 20 years exploring the relationship between physiology, psychology, energy, and our inner wisdom.
Drawing on body-oriented psychotherapy, mindfulness, and a trauma-informed approach, we explore how body signals can deepen emotional awareness, how inherited family patterns influence our lives, and what it means to meet painful experiences with compassion. Having supported more than 5,000 clients, Adriana brings a rich perspective on reconnecting with ourselves through the body.
Adriana is launching a training for her style of therapy online starting in November. You can discover more about this therapy here. https://www.hearyoursoul.net/trainings
