Dry January? More Like Why January: Getting Real About Intentional Choices

Prosecco on the Bathroom Floor

Send us a text

Are you doing Dry January because you want to or because society made you feel bad about that second bottle of champagne on New Year’s Eve? No judgment, babe. This episode is all about unpacking the why behind the choices we make. We’re talking habits (hello, Netflix binges), coping mechanisms, and the pressures of motherhood, religion, and guilt. Spoiler: it’s not about giving things up—it’s about showing up for yourself. We’ll chat intention, self-reflection, and finding balance without the BS. Pour yourself some prosecco (or sparkling water -- we don't judge, either way) and let's get into it!
