Episode 255 - Holiday Drinking Pressure, Dry January and Reflecting On Your Relationship with Alcohol

 

 In this solo episode, Allison encourages listeners to explore their own relationships with alcohol by offering insights, personal reflection questions and strategies for mindful consumption. She shares some highs and lows of her journey with alcohol over the last 15 years and reminds listeners that a path of sobriety isn’t typically linear. She emphasizes the importance of having self-love, patience, grace, compassion and understanding for yourself along the way. 

In the catch up segment, Allison shares that she is recording on her actual due date, but baby is still cozied inside. Her mom and sister came to visit, so she spent the week showing them her day-to-day life in The Netherlands with activities such as biking around, yoga, pilates, going to the market, her favorite local cafes, and the library.
