There are many networking events that revolve around alcohol and I'm convinced some people who "love networking" actually just love Happy Hour.
If you're someone who doesn't drink, you know how awkward it can get in these types of social settings. Or maybe you're just considering cutting alcohol out but aren't sure where to start or how to do it?
In today's episode, I interview Sarah Dice, a Life "in Soberland" Coach, who shares her transformative journey of quitting drinking and reclaiming her social life.
Sarah talks about some of the most common challenges we face when trying to navigate networking events or other social occasions without drinking and gives examples from her own life of how she overcame them.
We also discuss ways to redefine your approach to networking and socializing, so you can embrace these events with confidence, even when you're sober.
Whether you're alcohol-free or just considering cutting back, this episode will equip you with some of the tools you need to be successful.

We all struggle with saying "no" in personal and professional situations because we don't want to be mean, we want people to like us and we don't want to come across as a bitch. It's totally normal - but not super helpful.
In today's episode, I'm chatting with Suzanne Culberg, the "Nope Coach," about how to set business boundaries without feeling guilty. Suzanne opens up about her own journey from a chronic people pleaser to an empowered business owner and shares actionable tips that make setting boundaries feel less intimidating.
Whether you're an introvert struggling with networking or a seasoned entrepreneur looking for ways to avoid burnout, you'll find our discussion fun, enlightening, honest and valuable.

One of the questions I get asked most often is, "Should I pay to network?"
There are many factors that go into finding the networking event or group that is right for you and cost is definitely one of them! But does cost always equal value? Is there a benefit to attending paid events rather than joining a free group?
In this episode, as we explore whether paid networking or free events are the better option for your business. Discover the pros and cons of each option, and learn how various costs and outcomes can shape your networking strategy.
We'll bust myths about the quality of attendees at free versus paid events and I'll show you how even a minimal financial investment can lead to more meaningful networking experiences - as long as you remain consistent!
