Summary

Alcohol is everywhere - social events, mommy wine culture, a drink with dinner. So how many drinks is too many? Do I have a problem?  Gillian Tietz is the host of the Sober Powered podcast and recently left her career as a biochemist to become a full time podcaster. When she quit drinking in 2019, she dedicated herself to learning about alcohol's influence on the brain and how it can cause addiction. She used that knowledge to free herself from the shame she had about being unable to control her drinking. Today, she educates and empowers others to assess their relationship with alcohol, and provides coaching and support to podcasters looking to grow their show.Follow Gill HERE (@sober.powered)Website HEREPodcast HERE________________________________________________________________Did you love this episode?
