What if alcohol isn’t the main character this year?
For years, alcohol has played a starring role in how we celebrate, unwind, and cope. But as priorities shift, many people are quietly realizing they want more energy, clarity, and presence than another drink can offer.
In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook explores:
• How alcohol became the default in so many moments • Why it can start feeling louder as your life changes • What happens when energy, sleep, and focus matter more than a buzz • How shifting the spotlight — without quitting or labels — can change everything • Why support and recovery matter when alcohol steps out of the lead role
🎧 Tap play to explore a new chapter — where alcohol doesn’t run the story, and feeling better takes center stage.
