Sun & Moon Sober Living Podcast
Have you ever wondered why you keep turning to alcohol, drugs or unwanted behaviors even after they’ve caused you harm? Have you had a loved one gripped by addiction and questioned why they can’t just quit? Well then, you’re not alone. This podcast will help you understand what drives human behavior, and how to actually follow through on your intention to get sober and live a fulfilling life substance-free. In the Sun & Moon Sober Living Podcast, you will hear intimate conversations with those who have overcome addiction and are thriving in sobriety, and gain insights from leading experts in the fields of holistic recovery, trauma healing, nutrition, mental health, yoga & meditation, neuroscience and psychology. Mary Tilson is a certified Addiction Recovery Coach (IAPRC), Yoga & Meditation Teacher and International Retreat Leader. Sun & Moon Sober Living is inspired by her own battle with addiction, which amounted to years of inner turmoil, shame and secrecy. She’s been sober since April 27, 2013, and considers it to be the best decision she’s ever made.

An avid sailor, Gretchen is the Commodore of the Lake Bluff Yacht Club and travels the country racing Sunfish, and co owns a Pearson 36 sailboat. Her other passion is knitting and teaching people to knit. Gretchen helped found Art Impact Project’s Knitting Communities Together as a small way to help heal the Highland Park community after the parade shooting in July of 2022. She’s proud that this group has grown and expanded, continuing to bring people together to experience community through knitting.
