Colleen Clifford lost her husband to alcohol, but it took years and a handful of wild card moments for her to confront her own relationship with drinking. 95% of the time?

Episode 315: The Dirty Truth About Social Drinking: Why 'Everything in Moderation' Is BS with Hadley Sorensen
Euphoric Alcohol-Free
Hadley Sorensen didn’t stop drinking four years ago because everything fell apart. She quit because something felt off, even though from the outside, her drinking looked completely normal. That intuitive hit led her to do what only 1% of people ever do – write the book she couldn’t find: . Hadley talks about how she is dismantling the toxic narratives around “mommy wine juice culture” which can keep you stuck in shame, and the belief that you need a dramatic reason to quit. You don’t need to keep doing something that makes you feel like crap just because everyone else is....

Episode 311: What Actually Happens to Your Body in 31 Days Without Alcohol
Euphoric Alcohol-Free
What happens to your gut when you stop drinking? Your skin? Your liver, your heart, your blood pressure, your brain’s gray matter? My personal hot take is that if pharmaceutical companies could bottle the effects of being alcohol-free, it would solve most diseases and chronic issues people have today, because the before and after difference of drinking and not drinking is INSANE. When I went alcohol-free, I not only felt and looked better, but I saw major changes in my biometrics, including my blood pressure and cholesterol, which were not what I thought they should be in my 20s and 30s. In...

info_outlineToday, I’m finally diving into a topic I’ve wanted to share with you for ages: MONEY.
If you’ve cut back or said goodbye to alcohol, you’re already sitting on a gold mine. The average drinker spends $3,000 to $8,000 a year on alcohol alone – and now is the perfect time to leverage that raise and make your money work smarter.
In this episode, I’m sharing the foundations of financial literacy for alcohol-free women – the habits, mindsets, and investing principles that can create lasting wealth. We’re talking about investing, emergency funds, high-yield savings accounts, retirement, all of it.
I’ll also take you behind the scenes of my own money journey. Obviously I am not a financial advisor, but there are principles that I live by that have made my life SO much easier. When you remove alcohol, you gain energy, peace, and the power to build a legacy.
