Episode Description from the Publisher

Country artist Robyn Ottolini didn’t lose everything because of alcohol. She had a career she loved, close friends, a supportive family, and plenty to be grateful for. But behind the scenes, drinking was contributing to anxiety, sadness, shame, and a growing feeling that something needed to change.In this episode of the Sober Motivation Podcast, Robyn opens up about her decision to stop drinking, why the first few months surprised her, and the fear that sobriety might take away her creativity, personality, or “spark.”Instead, nearly one year later, she says she feels clearer, more creative, more present, and more herself.Robyn also talks about navigating the music industry sober, learning to actually feel her emotions, working through shame, dating without alcohol, and why she refuses to put the pressure of “forever” on her sobriety.Her story is a reminder that you don’t have to hit rock bottom to decide something is costing you too much.Connect with Robyn: https://www.instagram.com/robynottolini/Sober Motivation Mobile App: https://apps.apple.com/app/sober-motivation-app/id6759266291Sober Motivation Website: https://www.sobermotivation.comSupport the Podcast: https://buymeacoffee.com/sobermotivationContact me anytime: brad@sobermotivation.com Hosted on Acast.
