72. Why I Stopped Drinking Alcohol, the Sober Curious + Cali Sober Movement & How GLP-1s are Influencing Alcohol Consumption


Listen Later

Today’s episode is a long time coming, and it’s regarding something that’s really shifting in our culture right now: alcohol.


I’m diving into my personal journey with alcohol and growing up around addiction, the rise of the sober curious movement (especially with millennials and Gen-Zers), the significant impact on women’s health, why more people are turning to cannabis / THC, and more.


Alcohol no longer serves me; I’ve personally made the decision to quit it, and I’m consciously breaking a multi-generational cycle of alcohol dependance. 


I hope this episode empowers you to look at what’s really serving you (and what’s not). You deserve to live a healthy, vibrant, and aligned life!
