We talk about what it’s like to work behind the bar while living alcohol-free, how sobriety has transformed her approach to dating, and why dogs might just be better companions than most men. It's an honest, funny, and unexpectedly heartwarming conversation about boundaries, self-worth, and the kind of joy that doesn’t come in a glass.Cheers to growth, puppy love, and never settling for less than you deserve.Support the show Be sure to click the Follow button so you never miss an episode of Joy of the Hang!
