On Healing Mindset, host Archita sits down with Michelle Houston, founder of To Be Honest Beverage Co, to unpack how moving away from alcohol can catalyze real personal growth. We cover identity shifts, social pressure, habit design, and building inclusive experiences where alcohol is optional. Practical strategies for navigating events, strengthening relationships, and choosing functional non-alcoholic alternatives. This episode serves creators, leaders, and wellness-focused listeners who want clarity, not a hangover. 

About the guest:

Michelle Houston is the founder of To Be Honest Beverage Co, a non-alcoholic functional spirits brand focused on intentional living and elevated social experiences. Former alcohol industry insider turned mindful drinking advocate. She champions choice, presence, and consumer-first experiences.

Key takeaways:

• 
  

  A bottle-of-rosé wake-up call sparked Michelle’s shift from default drinking to intentional choice.

  
  


• 
  

  The goal is not shaming alcohol use. It is building agency at every decision point.

  
  


• 
  

  Distance from alcohol created identity upgrades. more confidence, presence, and capacity to face emotions.

  
  


• 
  

  Socializing without alcohol takes a transition period. anchor to your “why” and plan alternatives.

  
  


• 
  

  Seek inclusive venues and activities. think run clubs, pickleball, DIY craft nights, escape rooms, interactive art.

  
  


• 
  

  Hospitality should list NA options on menus and craft them with the same care as cocktails. experience is the product.

  
  


• 
  

  Consumers vote with their wallet. request quality NA offerings. brands are listening.

  
  


• 
  

  For mixed friend groups. remove judgment and resist “just have one.” host with parity. NA beer, wine, and spirit options.

  
  


• 
  

  Mindful drinking can domino into better sleep, food choices, workouts, and relationships.

  
  


• 
  

  To Be Honest Beverage Co frames you as the main character. the drink should serve the moment, not define it.
