What will people think if you stop drinking?

Will they ask questions?

Judge you?

Think you're boring?


 


In this shorty episode, Sara opens up about one of the biggest fears people face when they consider quitting drinking: judgment. Whether you're sober curious, taking a 30-day break, or farther along in your alcohol-free journey, this episode is a powerful reminder that you're not alone.


Sara shares her personal experience of worrying what others would think, how she navigated social situations early on, and the surprising truth she discovered: most people aren’t thinking about you as much as you think they are. 🙌


You'll learn:


🧠 Why fear of judgment is wired into your brain (hello, survival mode)



💬 The three most common fears around alcohol-free living — and how to reframe them



👀 How to stop giving so much power to what others might think



🌱 Why your choice to take a break might secretly inspire others



🗣️ A mantra to remind yourself: “I don’t have to manage other people’s feelings about my choices.”




🎧 Whether you’re quietly taking a break or shouting your sobriety from the rooftops, this episode will help you drop the shame, stand in your truth, and move forward with courage.
