  • Thinking you could drink again? You're not alone.

    We've all had that thought... "Ok, I'm far enough into my sobriety where I could probably have a drink again right?" Wrong. In today's episode, I will give you a few reasons why you do not want to pick up that drink -even if you think you "could."

  • Is sobriety BORING?

    So many people think sobriety is boring… but what if the opposite is true? In this episode, I break down why getting sober isn’t about giving up fun — it’s about finally seeing your life clearly. When you’re not drinking, you don’t lose your personality… you find it. You uncover your real hobbies, your real interests, and the things that actually make you feel alive.

    I share how sobriety opened up space for me to pursue passions I didn’t even know I had, and why boredom isn’t a sign that you’re “missing out” — it’s an invitation to build a life you genuinely love.

    You’ll also hear a full list of things you can do when boredom hits, activities that bring you joy, connection, creativity, and confidence without needing alcohol to “make it fun.”

  • Just stay sober TODAY | "one day at a time" actually works

    Thinking about sobriety in terms of forever can feel overwhelming. Promising yourself you’ll never drink again is intimidating — but you don’t have to. Your only job is to stay sober today.

    In this episode, I talk about taking sobriety one day at a time and why focusing on just today makes the journey feel lighter and more sustainable. If you’re feeling anxious about the future or need a reminder that you can get through this day, this one’s for you.

    The first three days of sobriety are incredibly hard, and I get asked all the time how to make it through day three. It makes sense -your body and mind are adjusting to a big change, both physically and emotionally.

  • The media's impact on Alcoholism | Is the media glorifying drinking problems?

    In this episode, I’m breaking down how deeply the media has shaped our perception of alcohol. From scripted shows to reality TV, we’re constantly shown characters using alcohol to cope, unwind, survive stress, or numb uncomfortable emotions — and it’s all presented as totally normal.

    I explore how these repeated storylines influence our beliefs about drinking, why they make alcohol feel like an expected part of adulthood, and whether our society would have such a complicated relationship with alcohol if we weren’t shown this behavior everywhere we look.

    This is a conversation about awareness, culture, and the subtle messages that impact the way we drink ...often without us even realizing it.

From handling the “why aren’t you drinking?” questions to actually enjoying yourself, this one’s for anyone who wants to protect their peace and stay grounded through the most festive (and boozy) time of year.
