Did you already blow it on your Dry January attempt? Do you consider yourself sober curious – but not sure if the jump to full teetotaling is for you? Are you convinced you “don’t drink that much” – but wonder whether what you DO drink is holding you back?

Join three top women’s self-improvement podcast hosts – Jasmin Dhillon, Amanda Lim, and our guest MICHELLE O’BRIEN – in conversation about the choice to quit drinking – once and for all.

Michelle, host of The Upward Spiral Podcast shares her personal journey and practical tips for sober living, including:

• Why you don’t need a “rock bottom” moment to decide to quit drinking

• Separating the cultural perceptions of alcohol from its actual impact on your life

• How to initiate change around alcohol use in your relationship, family & workplace

• The #1 tip she used at restaurants and bars to initiate her own path to sobriety

From hashing out the reasons women tend to drink (yes, mamas – stressful parenting is one we talk about at length) to discussing the best zero-proof alternatives on the market, you’ll come away from this episode empowered to examine your own relationship to alcohol and perhaps, why you might want to consider kicking it to the curb yourself.
