Finding Balance: Sallie Hoefer's Journey of Sobriety and Outdoor Adventures

I think that is really at the core of what we're trying to do always when we're trying to heal or recover or be sober.
Ever wondered how sobriety can change your relationship with nature? In this heartfelt episode of 'Nature Untold', host John Holdmeier chats with Sallie Hoefer, a conservationist, mountain biker, skier, and trail runner. Sallie opens up about her unique take on sobriety—anything that disrupts her alignment with her true self—and the challenges she still faces. Trigger warning: this episode includes mentions of sexual assault and blackouts.
Sallie shares her love for the outdoors and how getting sober helped her reconnect with herself and her passions. She discusses the societal pressures of drinking, especially in social settings, and how alcohol became both a punishment and a reward in her life. The conversation dives into how Big Alcohol has embedded itself in outdoor culture and what we can do to change this narrative.
With almost five years of sobriety under her belt, Sallie offers insights into her sobriety toolkit and how her relationship with mountain biking has evolved. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on living a balanced life, this episode is a must-listen.
