Ep. 138: Heather’s Farewell: Sobriety, Stress, and Following Your Inner Voice

This week’s episode is bittersweet. After two years of laughter, learning, and countless “aha” moments, Heather is saying goodbye as co-host of the No More Wasted Days podcast.

In this heartfelt conversation, Heather opens up about:

Why listening to your intuition becomes so much clearer when you’re alcohol-free
The difference between intuition and anxiety—and how to know which voice you’re hearing
What “the work” really looks like in sobriety (spoiler: it’s not a rigid manual, it’s simple next-right-thing choices)
Her own journey through stress, burnout, and learning to simplify life without alcohol
Memorable moments from past episodes—everything from deep values work to cracking up over “almond brothers” and making your bed

You’ll also hear Sara and Heather reflect on their favorite podcast memories, what they’ve learned from each other, and why laughter has been such an important part of tackling tough topics together.

Although Heather is stepping away as co-host, she’s still active in the Day Makers community, leading coaching calls and supporting people on their alcohol-free journeys. You’ll likely hear her voice again as a guest on future episodes, and she’s also working on an exciting new memoir project.

This isn’t goodbye. It’s just “see you later.”
