When Working Harder No Longer Works

How Slowing Down is Changing My Relationship to Alcohol

In this episode, Lauryn shares about becoming "sober curious" and how slowing down has completely changed her relationship with alcohol. Lauryn reflects on why this shift wasn't really about drinking—it was about becoming more intentional, more present, and more connected to herself. She explores the quiet nudges that led her here, the identity shifts that come with personal growth, and why learning to trust yourself is often the first step toward creating lasting change.
