About this episode

If you've been feeling like alcohol just doesn’t fit your life anymore, this conversation with Casey Davidson, a Life and Sobriety Coach, might really speak to you.  

Casey opens up about her personal journey of becoming alcohol-free, talks you through the benefits and challenges of sobriety, and clears up some common myths along the way.

You’ll come away with takeaways about the impact alcohol can have on your mental and physical health, how social norms and marketing can negatively influence drinking habits, and why approaching sobriety with curiosity and self-compassion can make all the difference in your journey. 

We hope the personal stories combined with practical insights in this episode will be an inspiring and relatable resource for anyone exploring a more mindful relationship with alcohol.


Listen and Learn: 

  • How Casey broke free from nightly wine, ditched mommy wine culture, and found freedom
  • How high-functioning people can unknowingly rely on alcohol, and what waking up at 3 AM really means
  • Alcohol disrupts joy, sleep, and mood. See what changes when you give it up for just 30 days
  • Navigating sobriety without hitting rock bottom, plus mindset shifts, social fears, and partner dynamics
  • Why the term "alcoholic" can be misleading, and how redefining sobriety empowers choice
  • How non-alcoholic drinks can fit joyful routines without the triggers
  • The lasting benefits of 30, 60, and 100 days sober, like better sleep, mood, and self-care
  • Why trying to moderate drinking often traps you in a craving cycle, and quitting frees your mind and sparks new creativity
