Episode 251: It Started with Mouthwash … It Ended with a Sober Empire with Jen Hirst

Going alcohol-free was one of the most empowering things Jen Hirst has ever done – and now, she's an icon in the alcohol-free industry. But you might not know where she started and the lows she experienced before turning her life around.

Alcohol abuse led Jen to lose her job, her car, and almost her marriage. In her darkest moments, she found herself drinking mouthwash, blacking out, and blowing a .34 on the BAC scale.

Her conversation with Karolina reveals not only her decision to go alcohol-free after years of struggling with drinking, but why she kept it a secret before ultimately launching her empire.

Today, Jen is the founder of Lighthouse Sobriety, which marries fitness and daily habits to help women go alcohol-free. She is also an alum of Karolina's Empowered AF Coach Certification program.

Jen is the definition of a true trailblazer in the alcohol-free industry and a beacon of hope for those struggling with alcohol. Here, she shares the habits that spurred her personal growth and made all the difference for her and her clients, helping them remain resilient and become excited about the life before them.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• How Jen transitioned from a "closet alcoholic" – who at her lowest found herself drinking mouthwash and rubbing alcohol – to celebrating over 11 years alcohol-free
• The life-changing decision to go public with her sobriety and become a sober coach – and the realization that sobriety is something to be incredibly proud of
• Jen's approach to help clients create new habits, including the daily 5 that she credits with much of her success.
• The power of consistency and connecting with your bigger "why" – plus, Jen's visualization that changed her life
