What really happens when you stop drinking ~ not just to your body, but to your confidence, relationships, and mental health?

In this raw and radiant conversation, I sit down with my dear friend and award-winning beauty editor Donna Francis to talk about her year of no alcohol - and how that decision changed everything.

Together we explore:

✨ How giving up alcohol improved Donna’s energy, skin, sleep, and self-esteem

✨ The reality of “hangxiety” and why her nervous system finally feels calm

✨ The emotional stretch of facing life’s stressors (like last year’s hurricane) without numbing

✨ What happens to friendships and social circles when you choose sobriety

✨ The deeper peace ~ and pride ~ that come from living fully awake

As two women who’ve both experienced life on the other side of alcohol (I’m nine years alcohol-free), this episode is an honest, uplifting look at what it means to come home to yourself - without the crutch of a drink.

If you’ve ever questioned your relationship with alcohol, or you’re craving more energy, clarity, and confidence, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and deeply empowered.
