The Shallow Take? Going sober is the obvious healthy choice… but is it actually that deep?


This week on Shallow, we’re picking up where our sober-curious deep dive left off, with a real-life test.

We’re joined by our friend Jordan Fores-Higgens, who gave up alcohol for an entire year leading up to her 30th birthday.


No cocktails, no “just one" - A full year, booze-free.


So… did it change her life? Was it a glow-up, a wake-up, or just another wellness trend dressed in clean-girl aesthetics?


We’re talking sober milestones, unexpected identity shifts, social pressure, and whether giving up drinking is really that deep.


Let’s dive in.
