60 Days Sober: The Slow, Quiet Shift That Changes Everything


Listen Later

This is Part 1 of my year-long alcohol-free journey.

(Continue to Part 2: 90 Days Sober for deeper shifts and unexpected transformations)

This episode is a real-time look into my first 60 days without alcohol — what it actually felt like, what shifted, and what didn’t (yet).

If you’ve ever been sober curious, questioned your relationship with alcohol, or wondered what those early days look like beyond the highlight reels… this is for you.

I’m sharing the foundation of my journey — from years of navigating emotional overwhelm and using alcohol as a coping mechanism, to the moment things finally clicked in a way that felt empowering instead of restrictive.

We talk about what January really looked like (spoiler: slow, quiet, and not glamorous), how February began to introduce subtle but meaningful changes like better sleep, clearer thinking, and more emotional capacity… and why the beginning of this journey is more about rebuilding than immediate transformation.

This isn’t about rock bottom.

It’s about awareness, choice, and creating a life that actually feels good to live in.

If you’re at the beginning of your own journey — or even just curious — consider this your honest, no-filter starting point.
