About this episode

*Still in stock!!* Have you grabbed our heirloom Memories of Christmas journals yet?!!🎄These beautiful 25-year Christmas memory books are the perfect way to record and cherish your Christmas memories, photos, cards, and recipes throughout the years and precious keepsake to pass down through the generations. They are available for podcast listeners at memoriesofchristmasjournal.com 

Let’s talk about alcohol. Over the last year, our perspective around alcohol has evolved and has led to a pretty significant shift in our lives. One thing we have learned is that not every new discipline has to be extreme because extreme can be unhealthy. But when you develop new ways of living a more whole and healthy life, you understand that healthy moderation is possible. ♥️

There are several reasons why we have scaled back alcohol, and as we share them with you we hope conversations in your own heart and in your own home arise. 

In this episode we talk about: 

  • Our personal experiences + upbringing surrounding alcohol 
  • Ways alcohol was impacting our health (physically + spiritually) 
  • How being extreme in new disciplines can become unhealthy 
  • Why it was possible for us to give up alcohol this time compared to when we have tried before
