#sponsored A productive *and healthy* trip to Target complete with some up4® Probiotics! @up4probiotics are in the Target Beauty Box and not only are they non-GMO and vegan, but they’re also delicious WITHOUT that unnecessary sugary coating that is on most gummies! They use clean, safe, and effective ingredients…I’d say that’s pretty important criteria for taking care of your gut health* :) #whatareyouup4 •

Instagram VS Reality 😅

MAJOR THANK YOU to my amazing guests for showing up, being vulnerable, and sharing their stories with us. My first live podcast event would not have been the same without them. I still can’t believe this happened this weekend. My heart is so full that you all came to the event and it was wonderful to finally put some faces to names and connect IRL! It felt so good to bring together some of my favorites companies and people in Seattle, and to create a safe space to talk about our feelings 💛 •

People: When was the last time you drank alcohol?
Me: 💁🏽‍♀️...JK!

My family and I love to laugh at this photo. No one would’ve thought I’d grow up to live a sober lifestyle. I grew up in a family of somewhat heavy drinkers, and in a society where alcohol and alcoholism are socially encouraged and accepted. But it never felt right for me.
I experimented with alcohol and marijuana in middle school and never really felt like either were for me. That I would’ve just been doing it to fit in because everyone else was doing it…and what would they think of me if I didn’t?! Truthfully? No one truly cared. The people in my life who loved me didn’t care. My true friends let me do what felt right for me. I would still go out, and I still said fuck it sometimes and did stupid shit growing up.
This notion that we need alcohol to go out, to dance, to approach a cute person at the bar, to blow of steam, can be really harmful and it frankly just isn’t true for ANYONE. You might want it, but you don’t NEED it do any of those things.
Part of why I enjoy having a sober lifestyle is making it through torture of stepping outside of my comfort zone, I’m obsessed with personal growth and putting myself in uncomfortable situations. Knowing that I approached the cute guy at the bar, or danced my ass of, or made a new friend are all vulnerable experiences where I get to challenge myself to truly show up. To not give a fuck about what anyone thinks, to take a look at whatever insecurities I might be feeling. Knowing I did something, entirely myself without the crutch of being inebriated, is so empowering.
I always encourage people to live a life they’re proud of. One they feel they’re truly showing up for. One with intention. One that they’re vulnerable in. One with meaningful connection. This can look different for different people. For me, part of this includes a sober lifestyle.
I posted a very long story explaining some more of this and made it a highlight on my page. I’ll likely do a podcast episode on this as well. I’ve embraced the Sober Sally lifestyle with confidence and you can too, if you want 😘

when you find a man who doesn’t just SAY he likes a strong independent woman but actually means it, his actions show it, and he supports you in all your pursuits...you squeeze his face into yours as much as possible 🥰 Thankful for my #CanadaMan

“Shine bright like a Nayah” is the caption her father chose...mine is “blocking out the haters like...💁🏽‍♀️” Which is better? (Obvi mine) Nayah is my alter ego, twin, practice daughter, little sister, just everything. Love her 💛

Carefree, relaxed, happy, taking dips in hot tubs in the middle of the afternoon Taylor was just a week ago, yet she feels so far away 😅 I’ve been working hard this week and am excited to RELAX this weekend so I have more in me to go even harder next week! While my relaxing won’t be in a hot tub, I suppose my couch and some stand up comedy is the next best thing eh? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Just a friendly reminder that you can have a sober lifestyle and still go out and have fun with people who want to drink! Visited a vodka room in #Whistler and thoroughly enjoyed my little ginger mocktail 🍸😋 #sobersally
