In Episode 566, we sit down with two new powerhouses in the sober movement, Margy Schaller & Laura Nelson from Sober Life Rocks to talk about owning your voice, breaking the stigma, and why 2026 is the year sober folks step into the spotlight loud and proud.

Together, Margy and Laura are on a mission: make sober choices normal, celebrated, and loud enough to shake the walls of the Orlando Convention Center.

And speaking of Orlando…
