In this episode we discuss the possibility of a connection between alcohol use and our self-esteem. We question if the way we feel about ourselves is directly related to our alcohol consumption and why people start to use alcohol at a young age to fit into social situations. We also speak about the flip side that relying on alcohol for a false sense of self confidence can impact your self-esteem long term. How continued alcohol use leads to poor decision making which perpetuate the shame cycle, which results in an overall lower self-esteem. We believe the most empowering step to increasing self-esteem is making the choice to say "No" to alcohol!

In Episode 16 we had an amazing conversation with TikTok content creator Crissy Rodriguez. After seeing Crissy across multiple Social Media platforms, we fell in love with her content and we're curious to hear her story. She has been openly sharing on TikTok & Instagram about her own experience and what she has discovered about the effects of alcohol. Crissy is a natural storyteller so it's no surprise that the online sober community is flocking to her content! With over 90,000 followers she has found an abundance of support through this online community. Crissy is the kind of guest that will show you it is in sobriety that we truly find ourselves. She is a real example of what living a beautiful AF (alcohol free) life can look like!
