Sober Distancing

Lisa joins IA to share her reflections on a rather uncommon journey given the nature of the past year: sobriety. This conversation centers around the advantages and challenges of getting sober during a global pandemic as well as how changes to one's habits can usher in a reevaluation of one's relationships, hobbies, and even purpose, through a new lens. Along the way, Brandon and Lisa touch on a range of topics including: - trends in alcohol use and dependency during the past year - why sobriety has become so socially unacceptable - how ingrained habits create the foundation for identity - the emerging prevalence of "low and no" alcohol beverages - why even huge changes are not silver bullets - anxiety surrounding a return to social normalcy - the importance of gratitude and much more!
