1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 What happens after you've been alcohol-free for years? For many of us, that's when the real adventure begins. In this heartfelt conversation, Terri welcomes back Michelle Plant—over seven years alcohol-free—to talk about the unexpected evolution that happens after alcohol is no longer taking center stage. Together they explore identity, creativity, play, grief, laughter, and the freedom to become more than one version of yourself. Michelle shares how sobriety opened the door to stand-up comedy, storytelling, and creating a live show called This Might Hurt a Little, where people read letters they were never meant to send. Along the way, the conversation turns toward the recent loss of Michelle's mother, the courage of grieving without numbing, and the surprising gifts that can emerge when we're willing to stay present for both joy and heartbreak. This episode is a beautiful reminder that alcohol-free living isn't about finding your final identity—it's about giving yourself permission to keep evolving.
