22 - Catching Up with Abbie Jean
Friend of the pod Abbie Jean Esbjerg joins Molly and Amanda for a second episode to chat about how life has changed (for the better) since she got sober in 2018 and how she is caring for her own mental health this year. You may know Abbie Jean from TikTok, where she shares hilarious glimpses into her sobriety journey, her new life as a chicken mama, and her fresh manicures. And although her TikTok game is strong, her wifi signal out in the country is weak - so please excuse a few audio glitches in this episode. Progress, not perfection, ammirite?

17 - Sober Christmas Spoiler: You're Not Getting The Pony
Throwback Thursday! This was the conversation that started it all. In December 2020, Amanda asked Molly to join her for a recorded Zoom chat about how to handle the holiday season while staying sober. From this, Life Not Wasted was born. So much about Amanda & Molly’s lives have changed since then, but one thing is still true — the holidays are challenging! Listen in to this conversation about tough experiences, holiday expectations, and how to stay sober and relatively sane through it all. Spoiler alert: it won’t all be perfect and you probably won’t get the pony you’ve always dreamed about. Want to connect with Molly and Amanda?

Customer Reviews
Sisters
I cannot tell you how much I have needed to hear your episodes. Please keep recording! And love the mention of co-dependency. Please keep sharing your stories! This is life changing for me as I made the final decision in my life to become sober! Thank you for being a resource<3
Thank you!!!
Thank you for this podcast! I am sober again and determined to make it last forever this time! One thing I’ve struggled with in my sobriety is my feeling of being alone. My feeling of not being “normal”. I know the horrors of alcohol and hate myself when I drink. Thank you for helping me feel ok and normal is another way.
Awesome Podcast!
Great insights delivered in a highly entertaining and down to Earth format. Very relatable and very helpful!
