Who says you have to have alcohol to make a party fun? Not me! After 26 years of sober New Year's celebrations, I can tell you that waking up hangover-free and ready to tackle the year ahead is the greatest gift I have given myself - and you can do that for yourself, too!

Almost always,  saying "no" to the booze means saying "YES" to feeling better and to the desires of your heart. You know, the ones God placed there because HE knows they will bring you true fulfillment and happiness. So let's forget about FOMO and embrace JOMO (JOY of missing out!).

This minisode includes tips that will help you navigate any social gathering EVEN if you are an introvert - or an introverted extrovert like me!

You can do this, SIS and I'm here to help!
