Good morning, guys. Welcome back to Not Your Typical, with Not Your Typical fitness lover,

Caitlin Nolan. That's me if this is the first time that you're listening to this podcast.

I usually upload on Mondays. I feel like I've been so busy lately that I keep like transitioning

between like Monday uploads and Wednesday

uploads. So I'm really sorry if you're like me and you love structure, that could probably

be annoying. But the most important thing is that I get one episode out every single week for you

guys. And life has just been so hectic. So I'm sorry for that. We'll start with that.

But I promise like life is definitely going to start calming down.

I know that we just like moved. I've shared that with you guys. And life has just been a little

bit more hectic than normal. And also a lot busier in terms of work, which is really fun and

exciting. And it's like the greatest thing ever. So I'm not complaining. I just have been trying to balance it.

I haven't been able to like find my rhythm yet. So just bear with me. But I promise I'm never going to

miss a whole week of uploads. It'll just either be Mondays or Wednesday. But I'm really going to try

and do solid Monday uploads on the pod every single week. But I feel like so much has happened since

last time I've

recorded. Like, it's only been a week, but it was my birthday week and like my friends came in town.

My parents are in town right now. And it just been like a crazy week. So it's fun like sitting down and

finally catching up with you guys. But before we get into the episode today, I kind of want to give a little disclaimer because we're going to be talking about a more serious topic, which I feel like in all of my episodes, like we really do talk about serious topics on this podcast. I like to be giving value with every podcast. I love listening to like chatty podcasts or like Girl Talk podcast. But I feel like my podcast specifically serves the purpose of

yeah, motivating you guys, but also just like talking about deep topics that maybe you haven't

heard other people talk about or that you've been experiencing. So it's nice to like chat with a

friend. So today we're talking about the reason why I stopped drinking alcohol,

what it did for my life, what it did for my fitness goals, and what it did for my mental health.
