In this eye-opening episode, I dive into the growing trend of going alcohol-free and why it’s quickly becoming the new non-smoking. If you’ve ever found yourself annoyed by the influencers and celebrities jumping on the sober bandwagon—or unsure if these conversations even apply to you—this episode is for you.

This isn’t just for those participating in Sober October or Dry January, and it’s definitely not for people who identify as having a drinking problem. Instead, it’s for the in-betweeners — the ones who don’t feel dependent on alcohol but still recognize its negative impact on their health and lifestyle.

I share my personal journey with alcohol and why I felt like none of the mainstream conversations around sobriety really addressed people like me. I’ll also explore why there’s a cultural shift happening that could make drinking feel as outdated as smoking cigarettes—and how you can decide if going alcohol-free is right for you.

Plus, I outline the science and social factors behind why so many people are rethinking their relationship with alcohol. For those who may need additional support, I’ll also share valuable resources for anyone who feels they might have a more serious problem with drinking.

🎯Resources Mentioned in the Episode:

• Alcoholics Anonymous: https://www.aa.org/
• SMART Recovery: https://smartrecovery.org/
• This Naked Mind by Annie Grace: https://amzn.to/41VyzOo
• Rethinking Drinking by NIAAA: https://rethinkingdrinking.niaaa.nih.gov/

Join me as we unpack the cultural shift and help you decide if it’s time to leave alcohol behind in the pursuit of a healthier, happier life.

In this episode, Chalene dives into how social media shapes our opinions using real-world examples like Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. She unpacks the influence of biased narratives, cancel culture, and groupthink, exploring how these dynamics play out in the lives of public figures and impact our own thinking. Chalene also highlights how AI could help us reclaim critical thinking and break free from echo chambers.

What You’ll Hear:

• Groupthink and Social Media: How algorithms reinforce biases and the dangers of blindly following the crowd, as seen in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's experiences.
• Cancel Culture & Narratives: The risks of speaking out against popular opinions and how public narratives can shift rapidly, impacting figures like Blake and Justin.
• Personal Experiences: Chalene shares her own struggles with resisting pressure to conform and draws parallels to how Blake and Justin navigate these challenges.

Chalene Johnson dives into the early days of her partnership with Beachbody (Bodi), when the company was just a small infomercial operation and the creative energy was off the charts. She shares behind-the-scenes stories from her TurboJam journey, the culture they built at Powder Blue Productions, and how Chalene’s relationships with Beachbody’s leadership began to evolve as the company shifted toward a more corporate approach. In part one of this story, She is setting the stage for how it all started to change, and why Chalene felt like it was time to step back from the fitness industry.
