In this bold and unfiltered episode of Let’s Get Naked, we kick off the Savage Self-Awareness mini-series with a raw conversation about alcohol—the “liquid escape hatch” so many of us use to mute our emotions. Stripping away society’s glamorization of booze, we get real about the ways alcohol disconnects us from our feelings, relationships, and goals. With deep personal reflections on her own journey to sobriety, the host challenges us to get curious rather than defensive: What are we actually trying not to feel when we drink? This episode is a call to take inventory—not just of how much we drink, but why—and to consider the emotional and financial cost of numbing. No judgment, just truth. Because buried feelings don’t disappear—they leak. 

This podcast dives deep into real, raw topics—think vulnerability, triggers, and childhood trauma. But just so we're super clear: I’m not a licensed therapist, mental health professional, or anything close. I’m just a human sharing stories, lessons, and life hacks based on personal experience and a whole lot of curiosity.

So, while you might find some golden nuggets here, this is not therapy and should never replace professional mental health care. If you or someone you love is going through it, please—seriously—reach out to a licensed therapist or healthcare provider. You deserve the real deal.
