it only felt right to start off this mini-series on sobriety with my connection to alcohol. we’re going back to our high school days, explaining my first interaction with alcohol, the emotions, parties, and hangovers that came in and out of my life throughout my 20’s, and what lessons I was left with. overall — my mission with this episode is to have you understand that you are in control of your body, and that no outside opinion should cloud your judgement on who you want to be. whether you’re a go out with friends for a couple glasses of wine type of gal, someone who is just stepping into the sober curious world, or you’re 10+ years sober — this is your path, and no one else's.

for more context on this episode we dive into:

— drinking and family dynamics

— the effects of alcohol on our mind and body

— how your environment affects your current lifestyle

— whether the people around you have your best interests at heart

— dating / relationships while sober

— my tips on going out & hosting sober

Hi! I'm Olivia Noceda, The founder and creator of self-titled blog and social media destination, and honestly, I'm just trying to figure my life out. All too often I found myself navigating the kind of a mess, kind of beautiful dynamic of living, and I'd figure I'm probably not alone.

On The Rocks, is a limited series podcast designed to give it straight up. Each conversation will aim to expand your mindset and empower you to trust yourself as you move through your own life.

Our first season is titled "No thanks, but I'm not drinking", a phrase that we're becoming more and more used to hearing when we're out with friends. Join me, as I dedicate 10 weeks to exploring the sober-curious movement and the overall relationship with alcohol.

Alongside experts, will dive into the scientific cultural and social impact alcohol has on us as individuals and as a society. Additionally, we'll hear personal accounts from influential members of the sober curious phase. All we're trying to better understand is how the consumption of alcohol has become so deeply embedded into our culture, and what that made means for you and me.

I hope you find these conversations insightful and thought-provoking and that you leave with a greater sense of confidence in how you choose to live your life.
