Alcohol is not what makes you interesting. It never has been and it never will be.  This is one of the common fears of women who want to quit drinking. But the truth is, alcohol is actually dulling your shine, draining your energy, and keeping you from being the version of you who has real, grounded confidence. Are you afraid that it's the wine that scores you invitations to nights out with friends? Are you worried that you will be too reserved without a cocktail in hand? Listen to this episode if you are ready to find a path towards an alcohol-free life that actually works for you. 

Feeling good AF? Now that's what makes you interesting.

  • This week's assignment (23:12): 
    • Part 1: Ask yourself a question. Where have I been giving alcohol credit for something that's actually mine? For example: Your confidence, your humor, your sophistication, your ability to connect. 
    • Part 2: Take Action: What would it look like to practice doing one of those things without the prop? For example: Going to dinner and you order a mocktail and you leave when you want to. You don't leave when everyone else leaves. Or - You show up to one social event without trying to manage anyone else's expectations.
