Green Glow Bonus: Your Guide to the Thrive Alive Festival – Music, Wellness & Sober Fun

Show Notes: Lighten Up & Thrive! Festivals, Fun, and the Power of Sober Connection with Erin McIntosh

Ready to trade science for celebration? In this special bonus episode, Kylie welcomes her vibrant friend and wellness innovator, Erin McIntosh, for a conversation that’s all about joy, connection, and living your best life—no substances required!

After a deep dive into mitochondrial health earlier this week, we’re flipping the script and bringing you a dose of pure fun. Erin shares her journey as the founder of Whoop Life, a movement dedicated to helping people “get high on life” through authentic connection, play, and the magic of sober events. From silent discos and improv games to nature hikes and heartfelt conversations, Erin’s events prove you don’t need alcohol or drugs to have an unforgettable time.

We talk about the power of presence, the healing that comes from being seen and heard, and how adults can rediscover the childlike joy of simply being together. Erin’s unique approach blends laughter, movement, and deep reflection—think summer camp meets wellness retreat, with a dash of music festival energy.

And here’s the big news: Erin and Kylie are teaming up for the Thrive Alive Festival this September! Imagine four days on a gorgeous 250-acre summer camp just outside Kansas City, packed with live music (hello, Mike Love and Paul Izak!), keynote speakers, yoga, kayaking, bonfires, plant-based feasts, and a community of like-minded souls—all in a substance-free, vegan-friendly environment. Whether you’re sober-curious, plant-based, or just craving a new kind of festival experience, this is your invitation to join us.
