Some people get sober after they've lost everything. Bridget Lieberman got sober before she had the chance to.

Growing up in Los Angeles with a complicated and often confusing upbringing, Bridget was already running on fumes by the time she hit 15. Her story could have gone the way so many others do—addiction deepening, consequences piling up, another young life slipping through the cracks. But Brigette did something extraordinary: she stopped running.

In this inspiring and heartfelt episode, we celebrate Bridget's first full year of sobriety—a milestone that hits different when you’re still so young. She shares what it’s like to be 21 and sober in a world that glorifies partying, and how she’s learning to live honestly, fearlessly, and with intention.

What amazes me most about Bridget isn’t just her courage—it’s her clarity. Because while many people don’t find recovery until their thirties, forties, or beyond, Bridget chose life now. And that choice makes her a force—especially for the countless young women who see themselves in her and realize they don’t have to wait until it gets worse.

This episode is a reminder: recovery doesn’t have an age requirement. And sometimes, the youngest voices carry the most wisdom.
