In this episode of Talk Your Abs Off, I’m reflecting on something that continually changes my life: being two years sober. Sobriety didn’t magically fix everything. I still experience FOMO, I still get triggered sometimes, and I still live in a world where alcohol is everywhere. But what has changed is how I see myself, my boundaries, and what it really means to belong. I’m sharing five honest lessons from my first two years without alcohol, including what surprised me most, what was harder than I expected, and what ended up being incredibly freeing.

I talk about how I’ve stopped caring what other people think about my drinking choices and how much peace that has brought into my life. I open up about the deep desire to feel included, where that started for me back in college, and how it shaped my relationship with alcohol for years. I also share how finding non-alcoholic drinks and new ways to socialize helped me build a version of my life that still feels fun, connected, and full — just without the hangovers.

I also dive into how much our culture revolves around alcohol and how that doesn’t have to dictate your choices or your comfort. And finally, I explore why more people are choosing sobriety or drinking less, and how that shift is creating space for new conversations, new norms, and more freedom around how we show up socially.

Whether you’re sober, sober-curious, or simply rethinking the role alcohol plays in your life, this episode is a reminder that you’re not broken for wanting something different — and you don’t have to fit into anyone else’s version of what “normal” looks like.
