Summary
For this week’s Reframing the Reset episode, we’re talking about alcohol, and exploring this sometimes-sensitive subject in a non-judgmental, open, and educational way.
Join in as I share my personal journey with alcohol consumption — from my not-so-inspiring first drinking experience to my somehow less inspiring last. We’ll also dive into some pretty surprising heath information and the cultural connotations of drinking for women.
I also talk about…
- The false sense of confidence alcohol can provide
- The art of sneaking kombucha into the club
- The dreaded Saturn Return and why it’s really nothing to be scared of
- Getting comfortable sitting in your discomfort
- The actual science behind wine’s health benefits
