This week on Joy of the Hang, we sit down with the magnetic Jillian McClure—a  bartender turned sober soul who’s mixing up a new kind of cocktail: truth, humor, and a splash of vulnerability. We talk about what it’s like to work behind the bar while living alcohol-free, how sobriety has transformed her approach to dating, and why dogs might just be better companions than most men. It's an honest, funny, and unexpectedly heartwarming conversation about boundaries, self-worth, and the kind of joy that doesn’t come in a glass.

Cheers to growth, puppy love, and never settling for less than you deserve.

In this episode of Joy of the Hang, we’re joined by Julie Edelman—bestselling author of The Accidental Housewife and The Accidental Sisterhood—who proves that you don’t need to have it all together to live a meaningful, joyful life. With wit, warmth, and zero pretense, Julie shares how embracing life's messes (both literal and metaphorical) led her to unexpected success as a media personality, author, and champion of real women everywhere. We talk about the pressure to "do it all," the beauty in imperfection, and how sisterhood can be both accidental and absolutely essential. If you've ever rolled your eyes at unrealistic expectations and just wanted to be seen for who you are—this one's for you.
