Ep 66. Why you’re never too young to choose an alcohol-free life, with Madeline Forrest 

In this week’s episode I’m chatting with sobriety hype girl and host of the Happiest Sober podcast, Madeline Forrest.

Having made the decision to get sober at 27 years old, Maddy is now on a mission to inspire others to create an awesome alcohol-free life. Maddy is so full of energy and epitomizes the positive changes you can expect when you choose to live life sober. When she’s not running her online community, you’ll find her hosting sober retreats all around the world.

  • What to expect on a sober retreat – 1:50

  • Enjoying concerts sober – 7:00

  • Growing up around alcoholism – 9:00
