Life without Lager

Ali

Life Without Lager is a podcast about life beyond the bottle —navigating the 'messy middle' of being human. Hosted by Ali, ex trash-bag, former party parent. Ali has been booze-free for five years. With lived experience, a healthy dose of humour and absolutely no bullshit, Ali explores the realities of life without larger, from the early challenges of sobriety to deeper conversations about healing, identity, personal growth, plant medicine and everything in between!

This is a space for honest conversations, shared experiences, uncomfortable truths and figuring shit out as we go.

Whether you're alcohol-free, sober-curious, or simply curious about living differently, you're welcome here.
