Have you ever felt curious (or concerned) about your relationship with alcohol? If you’re wondering how you can navigate and enjoy happy hour with a healthy perspective, without compromising on your wellbeing, then this is the episode for you.

I sat down with therapist and substance use expert, Lauren Eisleben, to talk about myths and misconceptions surrounding alcohol, while embracing a balanced and mindful approach to our favorite boozy beverages. Whether you're a social butterfly who loves a good time or someone who's just curious about finding the sweet spot between pleasure and responsibility, this is the perfect episode for you.

Here's a sneak peek of what's in store for this conversation:

1. Should we approach alcohol the same way we approach food within the intuitive eating framework? Or are there differences? Should you allow yourself to have as much as you want, or are there certain boundaries that are helpful with alcohol?
2. How do you know if you have a “problem” with alcohol? And is sobriety the only solution?
3. Is not letting yourself drink a form of restriction? And will it backfire like dieting does? 

Lauren is going to share some of her best tips for getting curious about your relationship with alcohol (and no, she’s not going to tell you to go cold turkey or go 30 days without drinking). You might actually be surprised at the gentle way she recommends we approach this topic. 

Whether you're a seasoned cocktail enthusiast or someone who's curious about finding their place within the world of alcohol, this episode is packed with laughter, insights, and actionable tips to embrace your relationship with alcohol authentically.

Go ahead and hit play and see what bubbles up for you. Cheers to curiosity and compassion with ourselves as we talk about these tricky topics!
