The Sobriety Awakening with Tamar Routley / EP 95
Ever wonder what happens when you stop running from your truth—and start creating something powerful with it?
In this episode of Sober & Lit, your hosts Coach Susan and Coach Ruby sit down with Tamar Routly—podcast producer, recovery advocate, and co-author of Sober for Dummies—for a candid and deeply inspiring conversation about what it really takes to go from high-functioning drinking to full-blown transformation.
Tamar shares how she went from secretly struggling in a corporate career to building a bold, purpose-driven life in long-term sobriety. From the raw moments of early recovery to reclaiming creativity, confidence, and connection, she walks us through the turning points that changed everything.
✨ What if the thing you thought was holding you together... was actually holding you back?
✨ What becomes possible when you stop numbing and start listening?
This episode is for anyone craving real talk, fresh perspective, and the courage to rewrite your story—on your terms. Tune in to hear how Tamar uses her voice to amplify recovery, spark hope, and help others feel lit in their alcohol-free journey.
