Episode 29: When Sobriety Opens Doors: How Cat Greenleaf Built a Life Living Out Loud

Do you remember the moment when something shifted—
when sobriety stopped feeling like a loss and started revealing unexpected gains?

In this powerful and deeply human conversation, I sit down with Cat Greenleaf, host of the podcast Soberness, to explore what opens up when alcohol no longer runs the show.

Cat shares how sobriety didn’t shrink her life—it expanded it.

Formerly the Emmy Award–winning host of NBC’s Talk Stoop, Cat has spent her career in honest conversation with celebrities and public figures. Today, that same curiosity and presence shape her work in recovery—where the masks come off, the stories get real, and meaning takes center stage.

In this episode, we talk about:

• The moment sobriety begins to feel like freedom instead of deprivation
• Why honest, unpolished conversations are often the most healing
• How sobriety creates “windows of opportunity” that never existed before
• Letting go of people-pleasing and growing comfortable in your own skin
• Why reinvention is not only possible in recovery—but natural
• How spirituality, curiosity, and service can evolve after we stop numbing

Cat also opens up about how sobriety led her toward unexpected purpose—including working with incarcerated populations and asking the question many of us avoid:
How do we continue living meaningful lives after great pain or regret?

This is a conversation about awareness, reinvention, and learning to stay human—no matter where you are in your recovery journey.

If you’re sober, sober-curious, or wondering what’s possible on the other side of alcohol, this episode offers reassurance, insight, and hope.
