Introduction

In this solo episode, Melissa discusses the value of Dry January, encouraging mindful reflection on habits that might stem from obligation rather than serving your well-being. Reflecting on her own experience of living alcohol-free for over four years now, Melissa delves into the societal pressures surrounding drinking and the difficulties of breaking away from the norm. She sheds light on the tendency to use alcohol or other substances as a coping mechanism and urges us to confront our personal challenges rather than try to escape them. By candidly discussing her struggles with people-pleasing and the clarity she gained after cutting out alcohol, this episode serves as a thought-provoking guide, encouraging deep introspection, prompting you to take inventory of your choices, question societal expectations, and ultimately advocate for decisions that make you feel like your best self.
