In this episode, I'm joined by Michelle Houston, founder of To Be Honest Beverage Co., a premium non-alcoholic spirit brand that’s rewriting the rules of social drinking. After stepping away from alcohol in 2021, Michelle set out to create something she couldn’t find—sophisticated, bold, and functional alternatives that support wellness without sacrificing the joy of indulgence.

Michelle shares her personal journey of redefining her relationship with alcohol, what it was like walking away from industries where drinking was the norm, and how she turned frustration into fuel for building a brand rooted in truth, flavor, and freedom.

We dive into:

• Michelle’s decision to stop drinking—and how it unlocked clarity, ambition, and energy
• The birth of To Be Honest and the gap she saw in the non-alcoholic beverage space
• What it means to create rituals without alcohol—and why connection doesn’t require a buzz
• The future of mindful drinking and how consumers are reshaping the social landscape
• Why sober-curious doesn’t have to mean boring, restrictive, or lonely

Michelle is proof that living boldly doesn’t have to include booze—and that sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is be honest with ourselves.

For so long, I thought love meant giving everything I had to everyone else—being totally self-sacrificing, putting myself last, and numbing out with alcohol when the exhaustion and resentment crept in. I wore burnout like a badge of honor.

But when I let alcohol go, I had to completely relearn what love actually looks like. I had to figure out how to take care of myself in ways that didn’t involve escaping. The way I loved myself changed. The way I loved my family changed. And I became the kind of person I actually wanted to be.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

💛 How alcohol kept me disconnected from real self-love

💛 The mindset shifts that helped me stop self-abandoning

💛 What self-care actually looks like beyond bubble baths

💛 The biggest changes I saw in my relationships after quitting alcohol

💛 How YOU can start showing up for yourself in a whole new way

In this episode, I’m sharing:
