    I miss hangovers

    15/09/2026 | 31 mins.
    Crazy right? How could someone yearn for a hangover? Well, in sobriety, we feel 100%, 100% of the time... and that can honestly be exhausting. I've figured out a few ways to relax, but it's something I really struggle with. If you've ever felt the same, this episode is for you.

    When is the "right" time to quit drinking?

    08/09/2026 | 32 mins.
    These are the signs it might be time to quit.
    But let's be real, there’s no perfect time to quit drinking -and you don’t have to wait for rock bottom to make a change. In this episode, I’m breaking down the signs that alcohol may no longer be working for you, from constantly thinking about drinking to feeling regret, using alcohol to cope, or simply realizing the pros no longer outweigh the cons. If you’ve been wondering whether it might be time to quit, this episode is for you.

    Forced to explain our sobriety to strangers

    02/09/2026 | 34 mins.
    In this episode, I’m taking you along on my trip to Poland, where I found myself tempted by alcohol, navigating drinking culture, and being forced to explain my sobriety to complete strangers.
    I’m sharing how I stayed strong, practical tips for declining alcohol in group settings, and some of the interesting thoughts about how society normalizes drinking so much. If you’ve ever felt awkward, pressured, or unsure of what to say when you don’t drink, this one’s for you.

    Why I don't call myself an Alcoholic or Addict: mini episode

    25/08/2026 | 17 mins.
    You might notice that I rarely use the words “alcoholic” or “addict” in my episodes -and there’s a reason for that.
    In this episode, I’m sharing why I personally don’t identify with these labels, what they mean to me, and why I believe you can be sober without seeing yourself as diseased, sick, or powerless over alcohol.
    And to be clear: if these words resonate with you, that’s great! This isn’t about telling you what you should or shouldn’t call yourself. It’s about knowing that you have a choice.
    If you’ve ever felt like the traditional language around sobriety didn’t quite fit you, this episode is for you.

    The "Food Poisoning" lie: vomiting from drinking

    18/08/2026 | 29 mins.
    I used to blame my ailments on ANYTHING other than drinking: Throwing up? -must be food poisoning. Loosing control of my bowels? Must be a gut health issue like IBS. Alcohol was my savior, so it couldn't possibly be causing me all this harm, right? WRONG. Little did I know, alcohol was at the root of all of these issues & more. And sobriety is what revealed that to me.
