In this special milestone episode, I'm opening up about what 500 days without alcohol has really looked like, from the quiet identity shifts to the suprising physical changes. I share how the 75 Hard Challenge gave me the push I needed to take a break, and the emotional highs and lows of navigating sobriety in a world that celebrates drinking.
I also dive into the science of what happens to your body when you eliminate alcohol long-term, from clearer skin and better sleep to reduced inflammation and improved mental clarity. This episode is both a personal reflection and an empowering reminder that choosing alignment over fitting in is always worth it.
