it only felt right to start off this mini-series on sobriety with my connection to alcohol. we’re going back to our high school days, explaining my first interaction with alcohol, the emotions, parties, and hangovers that came in and out of my life throughout my 20’s, and what lessons I was left with. overall — my mission with this episode is to have you understand that you are in control of your body, and that no outside opinion should cloud your judgement on who you want to be. whether you’re a go out with friends for a couple glasses of wine type of gal, someone who is just stepping into the sober curious world, or you’re 10+ years sober — this is your path, and no one else's.

for more context on this episode we dive into:

— drinking and family dynamics

— the effects of alcohol on our mind and body

— how your environment affects your current lifestyle

— whether the people around you have your best interests at heart

— dating / relationships while sober

— my tips on going out & hosting sober

let’s open up the dialogue, expand our mindsets, and start to get curious about our own lives and the role alcohol plays in it.

enjoy!
