OUR MISSION
In 2021 LAF Life Podcast started as a concept with the hopes of helping others that were contemplating their relationship with alcohol. LAF Life was brought together by 4 friends Tracey Djordjevic, Kelly Evans, Lindsey Harik, and Mike Sutton., as we were all navigating our own alcohol free lives, we discovered we were going through similar experiences. We all shared the same passionate vision of having more vulnerable conversations about how we all got stuck in the cycle of society normalizing the over consumption of alcohol , we could help shed some light on this growing cultural epidemic well potentially helping others with similar experiences along the way!
We launched LAF Life Podcast in January 2022, by sharing our 4 unique stories of our journeys to becoming alcohol free. Now going into Season 3, we can proudly say, we have grown and evolved by supporting one another and having valuable conversations around the subject of alcohol. We take pride in educating ourselves on a variety of topics and bring our listeners extremely relatable while knowledgeable guests.
In 2023 although the dynamics of our hosts has changed for Season 3 with the absence of Mike Sutton, we are still committed to our listeners and remain true to our original purpose. Our goal has always been to openly share our alcohol free lives , in order to show others what a beautiful alcohol free life can be. We came into this saying if we are lucky enough to inspire 1 person to make a change then we have done what we set out to do!
We are so thankful for the continued support from our listeners and the amazing community we have been able to build around this topic!. The interest and feedback we receive from our audience and guests is what drives us to keep going and improving. LAF Life is proof that we can break a cycle and overcome the stigmas around people's relationship with alcohol.
"Together we can change the narrative about Living Alcohol Free 1 story at a time!"

ABOUT ME: Mom to 1 amazing daughter, happily coupled to my AF partner in crime,. Corporate Director, certified foodie and passionate home cook. Family & quality Friends are the foundation for everything!
PIVOTAL "AF" MOMENT: My life took an unexpected turn @ 40 when I became a single Mom. Drinking wine became a daily ritual, a way to cope with the pain and loneliness I felt when I didn't have my daughter. As l adjusted to my new life and things got better, I realized my daughter was growing up and I was still drowning my soul & my motivation in a bottle a wine. This wasn't the role model or version of myself I wanted to be for her. With that realization I decided my relationship with alcohol needed to change.
BEST THING ABOUT LIVING "AF": Waking up everyday clear headed, motivated and anxiety free!
