I've had some incredible guests on this podcast, and there are a few questions I usually ask every single guest. One of them is: if someone is listening to this and they're struggling with their drinking, or they're in the early days of sobriety, what would you say to that person? I've received such incredible advice, wisdom, and encouragement from so many different guests answering that question, and this week I'm bringing you a c...

I'm in a period of life right now where it feels like a lot of change is happening all at once, and my mom and I sat down to have a very honest conversation about all of it this week! We chat about dealing with change and loss, practicing acceptance, staying in the present moment (rather than living in the past or future), and letting go of the things we can't control.

A couple years ago, I ordered a mocktail and the bar accidentally served me alcohol.
