Episode 28: In this vulnerable episode, we dive into the growing sober curious movement and how it’s unfolding through the lens of yoga philosophy — specifically the Niyama of saucha (purity). I’m finally ready to share my own experience with alcohol, my decision to explore an alcohol-free lifestyle, and the spiritual shift I’ve discovered along the way.

We’ll explore:

• The science and stats on how alcohol affects our physical body, sleep, and anxiety (hello, hangxiety)
• My personal journey — from party nights in college to the spiritual shift that led me to 150+ days alcohol-free
• How Saucha, the yogic path of purification, inspired this transformation and continues to guide me toward sattva — clarity, vitality, and inner peace

Whether you’re sober curious, reevaluating your relationship with alcohol, or just want to learn more about the intersection between modern wellness and ancient yoga wisdom, this episode is here to support your journey with honesty, compassion, and a Shirley Temple in hand 🧃
