Happiest Hour with Paula Devine

About Happiest Hour with Paula Devine

What if the best part of your day… wasn’t a drink? Welcome to The Happiest Hour Podcast—where happy hour isn’t about what’s in your glass, but how you actually feel in your life. I’m Paula, sobriety coach and founder of Happiest Hour, and this space was created for women who are ready for something more. Not because everything fell apart… but because something inside them started asking deeper questions. I speak to sober women, moms, who quit alcohol and are living their best lives.

   Getting out of our own damn way

   In this episode, I sit down with Ashley to talk about the powerful reminders and mantras that can help us slow down, get out of our own way, and come back to ourselves. Some are simple. Some are a little silly. But sometimes the words we repeat to ourselves are exactly what we need to hear. We talk about “pressure is a privilege,” trusting the process, choosing yourself, letting go of what other people think, and building a stronger relationship with yourself. Ashley also shares why it matters to pause long enough to notice what’s actually going well in our lives instead of constantly focusing on what needs to change or what comes next. We talk about paying attention to those little “God winks,” trusting that we don’t always need to know the entire path ahead, and simply putting one foot in front of the other. These tools aren’t about having everything figured out. They’re reminders to slow down, pay attention, trust yourself, and keep moving forward.

   Triggered with Whitney Kell

   Whitney Kell helped build the coaching division of a publicly traded weight-loss company, where she coached thousands of medical professionals as the business grew into a billion-dollar company. Her work today focuses on helping people understand their triggers, not simply as something to avoid, but as doorways to greater awareness, healing, and truth. Clean & sober from Cocaine and crystal meth at 21 and alcohol for 26 years, emotional sobriety has become one of the most meaningful parts of her journey. In this episode, Whitney shares what led her to get sober in 2000, what she learned from nine years in AA and the Twelve Steps, and the moment she realized that simply removing alcohol was only the beginning. We also talk about triggers, old patterns, and why the things that activate us can sometimes become doorways to greater self-awareness and healing. Drawing on more than 25 years of coaching experience, Whitney shares what she has learned about lasting change, personal growth, and becoming less reactive to the things that once had so much power over us. Whitney also opens up about her podcast and forthcoming book, Triggered™, and why she feels called to step back into this work in a bigger way now.

   Liquid Courage? Sex, Confidence & Sobriety with Cindi Roberts

   In this episode of The Happiest Hour, I’m joined by Cindi Roberts, also known as the Sober Sexpert — a certified recovery coach and sexual health educator who helps women in recovery rebuild confidence, reconnect with themselves, and navigate intimacy and relationships without alcohol. Cindi shares her own experience being deeply immersed in mommy drinking culture, where alcohol was woven into social events, work, friendships, and everyday life. At the same time, she built a career as a sexual health educator, selling sexual wellness products and speaking to hundreds of women about confidence, intimacy, and sexuality — often relying on alcohol herself to calm her nerves before stepping on stage. We talk about the role alcohol can play in confidence, sex, dating, marriage, body image, and connection — and what happens when you remove something you once believed made you more relaxed, outgoing, or comfortable in your own skin. Cindi also shares how sobriety changed her relationship with herself and ultimately led her to the work she does today helping other women discover that confidence, connection, and intimacy don’t have to come from a drink. It’s an open and refreshing conversation about alcohol, sex, motherhood, confidence, recovery, and learning to feel comfortable being fully yourself. The Happiest Hour — where happy hour ends and your best life begins.
