• In this episode, Melissa opens up about her past relationship with alcohol and shares her journey to realizing that drinking was no longer serving her. She reflects on her decision to not drink for 30 days leading up to the launch of the MWH app in 2019, and how that decision has now become a life without alcohol for over 2 years. A pivotal moment for Melissa happened in her 20s when an honest friend opened up to her about the person that she would become when she was drinking. It was then that she discovered that she wanted to have a different relationship with alcohol. Melissa tells us how she recognized that drinking was not adding value to her life and gives us advice on how we can all look inward and take inventory on our own lives. Melissa also discusses the impact social pressures can have on our choices and how she was able to overcome these pressures. And she shares her tips for going out and still enjoying yourself without feeling the need to drink. In this new life without alcohol, she’s found that enjoying the simplicities and joy of everyday life has become a lot easier to see.
