Sober October is here — but that doesn’t mean you have to white-knuckle your way through it.

In this episode, I’m sharing 5 science-backed and real-life-tested ways to prepare mentally, physically, and emotionally for a successful alcohol-free month — without feeling like you’re missing out. From syncing your plan with your hormone cycle to upgrading your beverage game, we’re ditching willpower-only strategies and setting you up for sustainable change.

Whether you’re sober curious, taking a reset, or wanting to level up your health this fall, this episode will give you the practical tools (and mindset shifts) to make it stick.

✨ In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• Why visualization is more powerful than discipline when it comes to long-term behavior change
• How syncing your alcohol-free efforts with your menstrual cycle can help you avoid the biggest craving triggers
• The real reason environment matters more than motivation — and how to shift yours for success
• How to stock your fridge (and your rituals!) with functional beverages like adaptogens, nootropics, and electrolytes
• Why having a clear script makes social situations easier — and keeps your confidence high

🔥 “You’re not depriving yourself — you’re connecting to the version of you who already knows this is the better way.”👀 Tease for Next Week:

In Part 2, we’ll dive into the next level of sober success: how to avoid decision fatigue, stay above your 50% energy line, and how your genes (yes, really!) impact your relationship with alcohol and cravings.
