If you're doing Sober October, whether it's your first alcohol free month or your fifth, this episode is for you. I sit down with my friend Pamela Rueda, founder of I DO NØT DRiNK, to share our best Sober October tips. We cover how to build new rituals, what to say when someone offers you a drink, and how to make this month count.

We even role play the Halloween party moment, when the host meets you at the door with a glass of wine and a million questions, so you can hear how to say "I don't drink" with total confidence and zero explaining.

In this episode:

Why your sober month should be about what you create, not just what you skip
How to turn your evenings into rest and restore time
Creating new rituals to replace brunch, happy hour and the Tuesday night pour
Why doing it with a community doubles your accountability
The power of four words: "I do not drink"
How to handle social situations and nosy questions
Why this is the month to eat the cake 🎂
Finding your why and making it your root
Progress over perfection, and planning for day 32
