Sustaining Sobriety in a Proactive Way with Jessica Jeboult

May 25, 2026

Meet Suzanne

Suzanne is the host of the popular sobriety podcast, The Sober Mom Life. Suzanne quit drinking more than 4 years ago and has found freedom from moderation, a message she proudly shares with the world. When she's not glamorizing sobriety, Suzanne enjoys spending her time with her 3 kids, her husband, and her dog, Georgia, all while reheating her coffee, until she eventually forgets it in the microwave.

My lovely friend Jess is back on the show to tell us all about her proactive sobriety support app: Bestday

Bestday shifts the question from ‘why am I not drinking?’ to ‘Why am I wanting to drink?’. The app walks you through creating a daily ‘risk score’ so that you’ll be proactively prepared with tools and plans for that moment when a craving might hit. This kind of clarity can make all the difference in sustained long term sobriety.

The benefits of the app go so much deeper than sobriety, though, and no one knows that better than Jess. Jess unexpectedly lost her mom right as the app was getting close to launch, and the daily tracker helped her immensely in navigating her grief. 

We’ll get deep into grief in this conversation: how grief parallels early sobriety, how to support yourself (and others!) through the grief process, and even what not to do if someone you love is deep in grief. 

If you’re in Vancouver, you’ll get to experience Bestday in person! This summer Jess and Bestday will be all around Vancouver with The Bestday mocktail bar. Learn all about it here!
