Episode 134. What if this is the summer it all changes—for the better? ☀️
Today we dive into what it means to experience summer without alcohol, and why that might be the very thing your soul is craving.
Whether you’re newly sober-curious, starting your first alcohol-free summer, or coming back to this journey after a break, this conversation is packed with grace, encouragement, and practical tools.
We talk about everything from mom culture and rosé memes to airplane triggers, BBQ season, and how to handle your first AF vacation.
Plus, why starting now (not in September) might just be the best decision you make all year.
You’ll walk away with encouragement, mindset shifts, and a whole new way of seeing summer, not as something to survive, but something to savor.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why summer can be the time to start your sober journey
- How to spot your summer triggers & plan ahead
- How to prep for your first alcohol-free trip or poolside hang
- The problem of "I’ll just wait until September"
- Why alcohol might be taking up more space than you think—and how to take it back
- The joy of sunsets, sparkling water, and technicolor memories
