What if your biggest challenges could lead you to build an inspiring online community?

In this episode, I sit down with my client Deb Podgolar, better known as Mocktail Mom and host of the Thriving Without Alcohol podcast, how she transformed her journey with sobriety into a powerful movement. Deb opens up about her path from using alcohol as a coping mechanism to creating the vibrant Mocktail Mom community, now over 125K strong and dedicated to supporting those seeking an alcohol-free lifestyle.

Tune in to hear how Deb leveraged podcasting to start building online communities, reaching nearly 50,000 downloads in just two years. We discuss her evolution as a podcast host, the importance of solo episodes, and the planning that goes into producing a show that truly resonates.

Plus, Deb shares insider details about the Mocktail Summit and her latest accomplishment: publishing The Happiest Hour book, a must-read for anyone seeking inspiration on their alcohol-free journey. If you're looking for inspiration and the courage to take bold steps toward your own goals, this episode is a must-listen!
