What if the real problem isn't how much you drink—but the way you think about drinking? Are you sober curious, emotionally drinking, or fighting the mental battle with alcohol? Jenn Kautsch of Sober Sis shares why so many women stay stuck in the cycle of moderation, emotional drinking, and starting over—and how sober-minded living leads to lasting freedom with Jesus.

In this powerful episode of the Love Life Sober Podcast, Christy sits down with Jenn Kautsch, founder of Sober Sis and one of the original voices in the sober curious movement, for a conversation about gray area drinking, sober-minded living, and what happens when we stop numbing and start getting honest with God.

This conversation explores Christian sobriety, emotional drinking, sober curiosity, moderation, and the mental battle many women face when they know alcohol is no longer serving them.

Jenn shares why alcohol can quietly become a socially acceptable way to cope, how the pressure to keep performing can keep women stuck, and why Jesus invites us into a life of presence, clarity, freedom, and connection.

If you’ve ever thought…

“I can stop for a bit… I just can’t seem to stay stopped.”

“Wine o’clock is the only thing getting me through this season.”

“Maybe I don’t have a drinking problem… but I know something needs to change.”
