Summary
My friend Jess of A Sober Girl’s Guide is back to tell us all about her proactive sobriety support app: Bestday.
Bestday shifts the question away from ‘why am I not drinking?’ to ‘Why am I wanting to drink?’. The app’s customized daily ‘risk score’ will help you proactively prepare for the moment when a craving might hit. This kind of clarity can make all the difference in sustained long term sobriety.
The benefits of the app go so much deeper than sobriety, though, and no one knows that better than Jess. Jess unexpectedly lost her mom right as the app was getting close to launch, and the daily tracker helped her immensely in navigating her grief.
We’ll get deep into grief in this conversation: how grief parallels early sobriety, how to support yourself (and others!) through the grief process, and even what not to do if someone you love is deep in grief.
If you’re in Vancouver, you’ll get to experience Bestday in person! This summer Jess and Bestday will be all around Vancouver with The Bestday mocktail bar. Learn all about it here!

| 0:29.3 | firmer, and it has that subtle glow that makes it look younger. And the results aren't just |
| 0:35.2 | anecdotal. There was a two-week clinical study where 100% of women, |
| 0:40.5 | yes, I said 100% of women, showed improved moisturization and elasticity and said their skin felt |

So 80% of the time, I'm cooking and paying attention and doing all of the things and eating healthy. And then 20% of the time, it's just whatever's easy and eating my kids' leftovers. And that's just real life. That's why I like having something |
| 1:29.3 | foundational with ritual. It's not about being perfect. It's just covering some of the basics, |

| 1:38.6 | gap between what we need and what we're actually getting and build their formulas around that. |
| 1:43.7 | I take essential for women 18 plus every morning. |
| 1:47.3 | It's gentle on my stomach and the minty taste makes it feel a little less like a chore. |
| 1:52.2 | I also like knowing it's vegan, non-GMO, and tested for heavy metals and allergens. |
