How do you show up at a holiday party without showing up with a drink?

That’s the big question—and in this episode of Sober & Lit, your hosts Ruby and Susan are unpacking the real talk behind office mixers, family dinners, and every bubbly-filled soirée in between. If you’ve ever clutched a club soda while dodging awkward small talk or wished for an invisibility cloak after the third “Why aren’t you drinking?”—this one’s for you.

We’re swapping out shame for sparkle and pressure for presence. Ruby shares how she went from wine industry insider to empowered partygoer, while Susan spills her best “nope, not today” exit strategies. You’ll walk away with mindset shifts, conversation scripts, and boundary-setting tools that’ll make you feel more confident, connected, and in control this holiday season.

Ready to redefine what it means to be the life of the party—alcohol-free?
