“You don’t drink?”

“...Like, at all?”

This is a question I’ve received multiple times. And I haven’t talked about it really on the show or social media, for a number of reasons. But I feel comfortable enough in who I am and the choices I make in my life to share that I don’t have alcohol as a habit.

So in this episode, I’m taking a step out there and sharing why drinking doesn’t work for me. It took a long time to understand that and listen to my body and what worked best for it. But it’s not something in my daily life. And I shared this in the episode and I’ll say again that by my sharing my truth -- I’m not judging anyone else’s choices. I just believe in the power of telling stories. And this is mine. So maybe you’ll get something out of it -- feel understood or heard in your own experience or have more understanding and compassion for someone else. I also believe, that like diet/weight loss products or beauty concoctions, we are marketed alcohol as something we need or an image of a certain person we should be, and that it’s the only way to cope with our stress.
