My Relationship With Alcohol and Why I'm Cutting Back | Shoe Therapy

About this episode

In this episode, Sarah Wasilak discusses her evolving relationship with alcohol and her decision to cut back.

Welcome back to Shoe Therapy, a Dinner for Shoes podcast miniseries that focuses on real talk in really good shoes. In this episode, host Sarah Wasilak opens up about her evolving relationship with alcohol — why she’s cut back, what she’s learned, and how she’s replacing drinks with social weed gummies on nights out. Sarah shares her honest take on releasing shame around drinking because so many people quietly struggle with the same thing. Her outfit, which is always a nod to the topic at hand, incorporates pops of green to reflect her feeling lighter and clearer.
