About this episode

Plus, other fun activities to do with friends - no alcohol required


Ladies (and gents!!), if you’ve been feeling the niggling to cut back on drinking or you’re wanting to pick a CLEANER wine to sip on or you’re wanting to shift your relationship with alcohol… this episode is a must because Monica’s giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how she *intentionally* chooses to NOT drink alcohol while still having one hell of a time, and when she DOES have alcohol - how she does so mindfully, AND avoids the dreaded hangover. 🔥


Plus, here are some other key points she covers:


🥂 the difference between wine in the US vs Europe + Australia (actually shocking!!)

🥂 her go-to wine when you want a glass but still want it to be CLEAN!

🥂 why once you get healthy, the more sensitive you are to the crap

🥂 getting over feeling like the “weird one” who doesn’t want to drink

🥂 how to still be the life of the party without alcohol

🥂 how self-confidence plays into this + how to turn it back ON

🥂 ways to “get into the vibe” without an actual cocktail in your hand

🥂 why someone pressuring you is a projection of their own insecurity

🥂 Monica’s RULE for herself to know whether she’ll drink or not

🥂 why it’s harder to detox alcohol when you’re feeling anger, shame, etc.

🥂 creative ideas of things to do with friends that don’t involve alcohol at all

🥂 AND, her favorite MOCKTAIL ideas for you to try if you still want the VIBE!
