Life After Sobriety: What If Success Still Doesn’t Make You Feel Like You’re Enough? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I sat down to talk with Todd Crandell, founder of Racing for Recovery, for the Sober Life Rocks podcast, I knew his story included more than three decades of sobriety, recovery from addiction, several books and more than 130 Ironman races. I expected we would talk about resilience, recovery and the kind of determination it takes to rebuild a life after addiction. We did talk about those things, but somewhere along the way I became much less interested in all the finish lines Todd had crosse
What If Alcohol Isn’t Ruining Your Life—But Limiting Your Leadership? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve been thinking lately about how we decide whether something in our lives is a problem. Usually, we look for evidence. Is it hurting my relationships? Is it affecting my work?

We gather in stadiums, around conference tables, in neighborhood living rooms, and at corporate mixers, ostensibly to be together. Yet so often, we rely on a shared activity—a glass in hand, a game on the screen, a digital wager placed on a phone—to mediate the uncomfortable space between two human beings. We inherit these social scripts so seamlessly
What Happens When We Stop Living on Social Autopilot (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever wondered how much of your daily life is built around things you simply accepted as normal long before you were old enough to question them? The way we celebrate professional milestones, the way we unwind after a brutal work week, the way we break the ice with new colleagues, or even how we structure a Tuesday night. We inherit these social rituals so seamlessly that they feel like gravity—unseen, unquestioned, and seemingly permanent. For decades, alcohol has served as the universa
