Description

Rejection stings, especially when you're changing your drinking patterns and facing family expectations or shifting friendship dynamics. 

After being turned down by a podcast host because of my moderation stance, I dive into how the fear of rejection holds us back from making choices that truly serve us. In this episode, we’ll unpack how family expectations, workplace pressure, and the subtle shifts in friendship dynamics can challenge your resolve to drink differently. 

Tune in to learn why some people resist your new drinking patterns—and how staying true to yourself is worth the discomfort.
