Sober in a Season of Pressure

This week on Chromosomes & Chaos, we’re diving into a topic that hits hard this time of year—sobriety.

The holidays are filled with joy… but also pressure.
Pressure to drink.
Pressure to “join in.”
Pressure to numb instead of feel.

We’re talking about what it actually looks like to stay sober (or simply cut back) in a season where alcohol is everywhere—family gatherings, work parties, stress, expectations, and all the chaos in between.

If you’ve ever felt out of place saying “no thanks,” if you’re rethinking your relationship with alcohol, or if you just want to feel more in control this season… this episode is for you.

This is an honest conversation about boundaries, confidence, choosing yourself, and rewriting what holiday “fun” even means.

Tune in. You’re not alone in this.
