“It’s way better doing it sober.”
In Episode 606, I’m joined by the incredible actor and content creator Sarah Pribis for a deep, unfiltered look at what it’s really like to navigate the entertainment industry while choosing a life of recovery. Sarah is so refreshingly honest about her journey—from landing her very first Christmas movie to the moment she realized her relationship with alcohol had shifted from "fun" to a dependency she could no longer ignore.
We dive into the raw details of her path to sobriety, including the pivotal phone call to her sober father and the experience of doing rehab at his house. Sarah shares how 12-step programs have become her foundation, helping her face the high-pressure world of auditions and the "glamour" of the Ellen show with a clear head and an authentic heart.
In this episode, we talk about:
Why her first Christmas movie felt like such a massive career milestone.
The evolution of her sobriety and why she’s more fun (and a better actor) now.
How she uses social media to show the unglamorous reality of being a working actor.
Why practicing gratitude and service is her secret weapon against self-doubt.
I loved this conversation because Sarah reminds us of all that while the hustle is real, our mental health and community come first. Whether you’re an artist or someone on your own recovery path, Sarah’s story is going to hit home.
