What happens when you spend a whole euro summer without alcohol?

No wine at dinners in Menorca, no cocktails in Mykonos, no hangovers in Mallorca.


In this episode, I share my raw experience of choosing sobriety for a season - not as a forever rule, but as an experiment in alignment.


I talk about:

  • Why I said no to drinking this summer (hormones, hangovers, nervous system health)
  • The awkward bits — “wait, you’re not drinking?” moments, sitting at wine-filled tables
  • The surprising parts — more confidence, deeper connection, remembering everything
  • The science behind alcohol and your body — hormones, sleep, emotions, clarity
  • The biggest lesson: sobriety isn’t about restriction, it’s about expansion


This isn’t really about alcohol.

It’s about asking yourself: Where am I numbing? Where am I dimming? Who could I become if I let myself feel it all, clearly, awake, alive?
