How To Go Sober-Curious For The Holidays And Set Boundaries With Booze | Re-Release

The holidays can trigger a lot of unhealthy drinking patterns, especially if you've been exploring the sober-curious life, or setting more concrete boundaries around your alcohol consumption. How do you stick with it and create a new relationship with booze?In this re-release, we throw it back to a deep, hard (and hella vulnerable) look at our relationship with alcohol, and bring you along for the ride as we reevaluate how to move forward with booze.  We’re not here to convince you to quit drinking — we love ourselves a boozy night out as much as the next queen, but while we aspire to age like a fine wine, our former drinking habits have not aged well, and getting drunk definitely isn’t serving us in our 30s. This is a choose your own adventure, because we’re leaving labels — along with getting blackout — behind us. Whether you’ve been sober-curious, or you just want to live a more balanced life, you don’t need to label yourself as a drinker or non-drinker: it's just about exploring your relationship with alcohol mindfully, getting self-aware and honest with yourself, and setting boundaries around drinking when you need to in any situation. If you’re curious about what a more mindful relationship with alcohol looks like, grab a glass of your favorite bevy and tune in as we chat about: Why drinking is so embedded in our cultureThe mental and physical impacts of boozeCailyn’s journey to a more sober-curious lifeGill’s journey to drinking more mindfully and intentionallyUnderstanding the “why” behind your drinking habitsUncovering your drinking triggersFiguring out what type of booze works best for you (Byeee tequila shots!)Setting clear boundaries with yourself and othersDealing with the social pressure to drinkOur favourite alcohol-free activities (that are still maximum fun)Science-backed tips for dealing with hangoversWe hope this episode helps you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationship with alcohol, no matter what journey you’re on!
