Ever told yourself, “I’m just a social drinker” or “Everything in moderation”? Turns out, those phrases might be keeping you stuck in an exhausting cycle.

Today’s guest, Hadley Sorensen, is the author of The Dirty Truth on Social Drinking: Everything in Moderation and Other BS. As a mom of three, lifelong runner, and writer, Hadley spent years questioning her drinking—not because of how much she drank, but because of how it made her feel.

Three and a half years ago, she woke up after one last hangover and decided she was done. No rock bottom. No medical crisis. Just a gut feeling that life could be better without alcohol. Now, she’s helping others see that anyone can quit drinking at any time, for any reason—no rock bottom required.

In this episode, we dive into:

🍷 The myth of moderation—why “just cut back” isn’t the solution

💭 The mental hamster wheel of drinking—endless rules, guilt, and starting over

📚 Hadley’s journey from gray-area drinking to authoring a game-changing book

🧠 How removing alcohol transformed her mental health and running performance

👦 Talking to kids about alcohol—and why it’s NOT just a teenage rite of passage

Hadley’s story is raw, relatable, and a must-listen for anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol—especially if you’ve never hit “rock bottom.”
