Have you ever thought about your relationship with alcohol - not because of a problem, but out of curiosity or concern for your mental wellbeing? In this episode, Jodi sits down with sobriety coach, entrepreneur, and former ESPN anchor James Swanwick to talk about the surprising and powerful links between alcohol, anxiety, sleep, and overall health. James shares his personal story of quitting alcohol after a moment of reflection in a hotel mirror and how that decision changed his entire life.
Together, they explore:
-
The neuroscience of alcohol and anxiety
-
Why drinking to relax often backfires
-
Social pressure, identity, and the myth of "just one glass"
-
How to rethink your relationship with alcohol without shame
-
Why giving it up might be the greatest gift you give yourself
Whether you're sober-curious, taking a break for Dry July, or just ready for more clarity and less anxiety, this episode will inspire and empower you to choose differently.
