The Sober Shift: An Evening with Author Suzanne Warye

The Sober Shift: An Evening with Author Suzanne Warye
We are pleased to welcome Suzanne Warye, wellness writer and creator of The Sober Mom Life podcast and My Kind of Sweet, as she discusses and signs copies of The Sober Shift: A Modern-Day Guide to Living an Abundant Sober Life. With her signature humor and inviting tone, Suzanne invites readers to live fully, joyfully, and free from alcohol. In The Sober Shift she redefines sobriety as a path to true abundance—one that nurtures deeper connections, intentional living, and a richer life. Blending memoir with practical strategies, cultural insights, and seasonal mocktail recipes like the Virgin Rosemary Moscow Mule and Tart Cherry Spritz, The Sober Shift shows that life without alcohol can be vibrant and fulfilling.
This event is free, but registration is requested. We ask that you purchase your copy of The Sober Shift from The Book Stall if you intend on entering the book-signing queue.

A former chef turned stay-at-home mom of four, Katy’s journey into mindfulness began with her own struggle through anxiety, overwhelm, and identity loss. What started as a food blog in 2017 quickly evolved into a platform devoted to helping women live with more peace, presence, and purpose. She now leads international retreats, teaches mindfulness in a way that feels soft and accessible, and hosts the weekly podcast Within.
