Change doesn’t always come with fanfare—sometimes it’s quiet, personal, and unexpected. In this episode of Patio Ponderings, I reflect on two milestones that have shaped the last few months of my life: five months of daily blogging and 100 days without bourbon (though I’m still not sure that’s the right word for it).

This isn’t about labels or rigid goals. It’s about the small shifts that ripple into bigger changes, the lessons you don’t see coming, and how reflection itself can be transformative.

I explore: 

✔️ The unexpected challenges and lessons from going 100 days without bourbon.
✔️ Why the term “sobriety” doesn’t quite sit right with me—and why that matters.
✔️ The blog posts and reflections that resonated most over five months of daily writing.
✔️ How personal growth often looks nothing like what we expect.

Whether you’re navigating change, questioning old habits, or simply curious about the process of reflection, this episode is for you.
