Summer House star Carl Radke opens up about sobriety, mental health, and the simple daily habits that keep him grounded, plus why he has strong opinions about top sheets. 🛏️
On this episode of Good Enough by Good Housekeeping, reality TV star, entrepreneur and More Life podcast host Carl Radke @MoreLifeWithCarlRadke sits down with Editor in Chief Elspeth Velten to talk routines, rituals and the small wins that set him up for success.
Carl shares how his relationship with his home has changed, why he makes his bed every single morning, and what he really thinks about top sheets, proper pillows and keeping your space in order.
He also gets candid about his sobriety journey and why taking time each day for your mind and body matters. As Carl puts it, “gym is for your body, therapy’s for your mind.” He explains how running became a big part of his life after getting sober, what it’s like training for the New York City Marathon, and the charity work that’s become part of his running journey.
Plus, Carl talks about Soft Bar, his nonalcoholic bar in Brooklyn, New York, and his vision for a sober third space where people can connect without alcohol.
