Remember that time we got lost in a sea of tailgaters at a Penn State + Michigan football game, only to find ourselves behind a dumpster, law enforcement on our heels? Well, that laugh-worthy misadventure is just the tip of the iceberg as Kelly Mizgorski and Ryan Frankowski, bring you a conversation steeped in the highs and lows of adulting with a twist of summer fun. From the unexpected places our phones accompany us (yes, even to the bathroom) to the sobering reality of health alerts from previous partners, we're covering all the bases this episode.

Now, who doesn't love the thrill of Halloween in the heat of May? We're dishing on our costume dreams while embracing the concept of 'hot mom summer,' balancing the sizzle with the chill of personal responsibility. As parents, we've seen our college days of carefree drinking evolve into a mindful approach to alcohol—no easy feat amidst the pressures of social media and fitness obsessions. It's a raw look at the addictive behaviors that we all face and the boundaries we've learned to set for a semblance of sanity.

Navigating the social maze when booze is the star can be tricky. Yet, here we are, sharing our go-to strategies for mingling with a "mindful" muddle—think tasty mocktails and for the "normies"/drinkers pacing ourselves with non-alcoholic gems. We celebrate the solidarity of loved ones who choose sobriety and revel in the support that makes standing your ground a bit less daunting. It's a candid blend of stories, strategies, and sheer hilarity, served up to encourage you to join us on this messy journey called life. And hey, don't forget to hit subscribe to "Mocktails Or Messy" unless you want Chucky coming for you—and we're only half-joking!
