25. Redefining Your Relationship with Alcohol this Holiday Season

from LIBERATED · host Leslie Medley

In this episode, we’re diving into the power of showing up fully and unapologetically, especially during the holiday season—without alcohol. If you’ve been feeling called to step back, cut back, or maybe even go all in and stop drinking altogether, this episode is for you. I’m sharing my journey and some real, practical tips on how to navigate the holidays in alignment with who you’re becoming. I’ll talk about: My personal evolution with alcohol, how I transitioned over a decade, and what ultimately led me to claim this empowered, sober path. How to handle family gatherings, peer pressure, and all those familiar situations where alcohol used to be the norm. Setting clear boundaries ahead of time to honor your desires and stay true to yourself. How to communicate your choices in a way that feels light, freeing, and natural (spoiler alert: it’s only weird if you make it weird!). The deeper, soul-level reasons for choosing sobriety—how it’s become a generational healing journey and why it’s so much more than just a choice about alcohol. This episode is all about giving yourself the freedom to show up in your truth and honoring the part of your journey you’re on, wherever you’re at. Whether you're just starting to explore sobriety or you're fully committed, there’s no “right” way—there’s only YOUR way. Let’s Connect: I’d love to hear your story or any thoughts you have after listening. I’m here for it all—share your reflections with me over on Instagram and let’s keep this conversation going.

Magnus Podcast: Conversations from the Catacombs of Liberal Education Albertus Magnus Institute, Inc. Welcome to Magnus Podcast - a production of the Albertus Magnus Institute, Inc. Imagine an academy deeply rooted and committed to the classical liberal arts, stocked to the brim with well-known, world-class faculty, and universally accessible. Now imagine it being completely affordable, even free.  This was the vision of St. Albert the Great, father of classical education: an education that is at once freeing and free.
A true and human liberation has always been the promise of an education in the liberal arts. Indeed, for the better part of the last 3,000 years, it was no mystery where one could learn how to cast off the shackles of the world and what to study to achieve that liberated state.  In no uncertain terms, the classical liberal arts undoubtedly served as the intellectual foundation of Western Civilization. 
However, we are no longer a society of free men.
