Talking about alcohol can be triggering and challenging for many, but it's something I personally feel strongly about.
I have been alcohol free for about two years now, and it's something people are often surprised and curious about.
Why would I choose this? Three simple reasons that I dive into in this episode.
Plus, it's time we have an open honest conversation about it. If you've been feeling like maybe your relationship with alcohol isn't a healthy one, or you're curious about what life would be like without it, listen in.
For me it's a huge act of self love, but this is 100% personal.
There is no right or wrong. Only what's right or wrong for you.
