Ep. 9 Sobriety in an alcohol crazed society (yeah, I said it) with Lindsey Beddard

This episode is a raw conversation with one of my best friends about her journey with sobriety. We talk the challenges that she faced at the beginning, the challenges she still faces six years later, the benefits, and everything in between.  Alcohol has become very "normal" in our society. I left some food for thought in the intro, and I want to leave it here for you too...why is it that we question why people aren't drinking, but not why drinking is part of everything that we do? If you are sober curious, just want to gain some pretty incredible knowledge, or ready to embark on your own sobriety journey, here are some of our favorite resources: The podcast episode (below) on Huberman Lab is for EVERYONE that drinks ANY amount of alcohol.
