“Hangxiety: The Post-Drink Panic No One Warned Us About”

In this episode, Taylor and Alison dive into a phenomenon that so many of us know too well: hangxiety — the anxiety that hits after drinking alcohol. Whether it’s racing thoughts, regret spirals, or waking up with that “what did I say last night?” dread… you're not alone.The chicks open up about their own experiences with hangxiety, explore why it happens (yes, there’s a science-y reason), and share their favorite tools to help ease the shame, calm the nervous system, and make more empowered choices around drinking.

If you’ve ever sworn off alcohol mid-panic only to find yourself back at happy hour the next week… this one’s for you.
