  • The fears she had about being sober
  • How her friendships were impacted by alcohol + what happened to them when she stopped drinking
  • Advice for making friends as an adult (+why it can sometimes be a slow burn)
  • Drinking culture in the U.S. and in NYC specifically
  • Dating while sober
  • Manifesting the life you want

    In today's intro, we talk a bit about our own experiences with alcohol and our thoughts on Sarah's book. We also answer a listener question about losing attraction in a relationship and discuss whether a "sparky" person is a red flag and if butterflies always mean anxiety.
