Community is the Special Sauce of Sobriety with Kerri Maher

August 10, 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.

USA Today Bestselling novelist and parenting coach Kerri Maher joins me to talk about her latest book Summer of Love, an absolutely beautiful novel that tackles addiction and sobriety, and her most personal novel yet. 

Today, Kerri shares how her own sobriety journey played out over the course of a decade, the transformative importance community had on her sobriety, and the perspective shifts she had to make within herself in order for sobriety to feel ‘like a privilege’. 

Plus – she’ll share the similarities between sobriety and being a writer, how The Artist’s Way led her to writing this latest book, and how she supports parents as a parenting coach!
