The Night That Changed Everything

In this episode, I share the part of the story that still catches in my throat. I talk about my mother-in-law and the night that changed everything. I talk about what it means to love a man who has had to carry something unimaginable. About how grief doesn't just live in the past, it shows up at holidays, in quiet moments, in the empty spaces at the table. We talk about guilt. About resilience. About how life keeps moving even when part of you is still standing in the wreckage. I'm angry. Angry at alcohol. Angry at what it normalized. Angry at what it took from our family. This episode is also about my own relationship with drinking. How it shifted. Not overnight. Not dramatically. But slowly, honestly, through years of reflection. Kava Cantina didn't start as a business idea. It started as a question: What if we did this differently? This conversation is raw. It's personal. And it's the foundation of why I am building something better. If you've ever felt tension around alcohol at family gatherings… if you've ever questioned your own habits… if you've ever carried anger you didn't expect to have… this one is for you.   www.kavacantina.com Follow the Journey: Instagram Instagram Facebook
