26. 21 Years Alcohol-Free, Family, and Finding Your Voice with Margy Schaller
In this episode, Jaime and Jules interview Margy Schaller, co-founder of Sober Life Rocks and host of the Sober Life Rocks podcast. Margy has been alcohol-free for 21 years, but she spent the first 18 and a half years keeping that part of her life mostly private.
Margy shares what drinking looked like for her, growing up with a mom who struggled with alcohol, and the family intervention that ultimately led her to treatment at Betty Ford. She also talks about what it was like learning how to do everyday life without alcohol and navigating a professional world where drinking was often such a big part of connecting.
Jaime, Jules, and Margy also talk about family relationships, rebuilding trust, breaking generational patterns, and what happens when we finally start talking honestly about our experiences with alcohol. Margy shares the moment she decided she was done hiding her story and how that eventually led to Sober Life Rocks.
They also get into something so many women struggle with: how much of our social lives still revolve around alcohol and what it could look like to create more ways to connect without making drinking the center of everything.
