How do you feel about your relationship with alcohol? Good? Bad? It's complicated? In today's episode with Jenn of Sober Sis we get INTO IT - I loved this conversation. I personally don't think it has to be all or nothing with alcohol (for most people) but I think this discussion is a really important one to have and to think about. I hope you'll take a listen and do some reflecting on your alcohol use and how it's serving you.

What we covered: 

• What does it mean to be sober-minded & sober curious
• What if you don’t have a “problem” with alcohol, but want to stop drinking or reduce your intake (without people assuming you’re an alcoholic) 
• Mindfulness vs. abstinence from alcohol 
• All about “hangxiety” -- anxiety after consuming alcohol 
• Some of the possible benefits of reducing alcohol
• Ways to unwind and relax at the end of the day without alcohol
• Navigating alcohol when you have alcoholism in your family
• The importance of having a support system if you want to explore reducing or eliminating alcohol 
• Some of Jenn’s favorite alcohol-free alternatives 
• Some surprising feedback from my listeners regarding their relationship with alcohol
