In this episode, I share why I decided to stop drinking, what has happened since I’ve given up alcohol, and how I’m feeling four months without it. I discuss how alcohol affected my postpartum experience, my “aha” moment with drinking, and my current relationship with plant-based substances. I also answer listener questions on sober curiosity and its relation to diet culture, how I navigate nights out, and what I’ve noticed physically and mentally since giving up booze.
