| 5/7/26 | The Uncomfortable Questions. Answered. Ep 14 | In this episode, Maxine and Isabelle respond to your questions—the real ones. The complicated ones. The ones that don’t have neat, tidy answers. From loving someone whose drinking worries you… to being the only one not drinking in the room. What to say when the pressure’s on, why people suddenly tell you everything about their own drinking, and how to stay steady in those early, shaky days. They also talk sugar, substitutes, and their colleague’s kid who calls them “the women who don’t know h... | 1h 03m 32s | ||||||
| 4/23/26 | Trips and Truths | Ep 13 | After spending a lot of time on the road in recent months, Maxine and Isabelle unpack what travel really looks like without alcohol. From airport culture and in-flight drink carts to liquor stores in cities across the country, talking about it helps move the needle. They explore why vacation has become so intrinsically linked to drinking (from the moment you arrive at the airport) and what happens when you replace that default. The result: new rituals, more energy, deeper presence, and ... | 1h 07m 38s | ||||||
| 4/9/26 | Spirits and Spirits | Ep 12 | From communion wine to Manischewitz, alcohol shows up in some of our most sacred and social rituals, but the way we each experience it can be wildly different. In this episode, Maxine and Isabelle take a funny, honest look at alcohol, religion, and tradition, from hosting styles (never wanting the party to end vs. leaving at 9:30 sharp) to completely opposite feelings about Easter: the pastels, food, and clothing! They explore the contradictions between what religion teaches and what culture ... | 1h 03m 01s | ||||||
| 3/26/26 | Sip and Shop! The New Wine Aisle | Ep 11 | In Happy AF’s first on-location episode, Maxine and Isabelle head to the unique and wonderful Dorset Union Store to chat with the store’s wine buyer and explore how the beverage world is evolving, FAST. What does a modern wine buyer see shifting in the industry? Are people drinking less? Differently? What’s selling now? Together, they taste and don’t have to spit! But they may have to because they are VERY honest about what they like and what they dislike! Just like alcoholic beverages, Maxin... | 47m 08s | ||||||
| 3/12/26 | Redefining celebration, one stereotype at a time | Ep 10 | Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, when everyone’s suddenly Irish and green beer flows, Maxine and Isabelle ask the question: Who decided what our passports drink? From Irish pints to French wine, national identity and alcohol have been tightly linked. But where did those stereotypes begin? And the women have been travelling; Maxine does a pretty spot on impersonation of her drunk fellow passenger on flight to Palm Beach and Isabelle talks about overreaching corkage fees in NYC! They’ve got ... | 1h 01m 03s | ||||||
| 2/26/26 | "Just One"...And Other Lies | Ep 9 | Alcohol comes with a lot of stories, the ones society tells us, the ones Big Alcohol sells us, and the ones we tell ourselves to keep everything feeling “normal.” In this episode, Maxine and Isabelle call out the biggest lies around drinking, and the universal habit of lying to your doctor! With sharp humor and zero judgment, they laugh through self-soothing narratives that kept alcohol in place in their loves for years! Edgy, funny, and TOTALLY relatable. Send us a text - We'd love to hear w... | 1h 03m 27s | ||||||
| 2/12/26 | Love, Actually... AF | Ep 8 | Valentine’s Day has long been wrapped in alcohol; first dates, liquid courage, breakup cocktails, and the infamous walk of shame. In this episode, Maxine and Isabelle take a funny, honest look back at how alcohol shaped their dating lives, relationships, sense of self and now their marriages! They talk about dating culture, lowered standards, blurred boundaries, and why so many romantic decisions felt normal at the time but look very different in hindsight! With humor, clarity, and zero judgm... | 1h 13m 35s | ||||||
| 1/29/26 | You Asked, We Answered! | Ep 7 | In this episode, we’re answering the questions you’ve been asking us most about our alcohol-free lives — honestly, openly, and without pretending we have it all figured out. We talk about why we chose to stop drinking, the hardest moments in the early days, and how our relationships and friendships shifted along the way — who surprised us, who stayed, and what we had to let go of. We also dive into what socializing looks like now, how we navigate dinners, parties, and how living alcoho... | 1h 15m 57s | ||||||
| 1/15/26 | Resolutions vs. Reality! | Ep 6 | In this episode, Maxine and Isabelle chat about their New Year’s resolutions (or lack of), why we so often fail, and how alcohol quietly undermines all of our best intentions. Reflecting on more than a year alcohol-free, they share how their energy, clarity, confidence, and emotional steadiness have truly changed and why they no longer believe in rigid resolutions. They look back with hilarity on a few other bad habits, from smoking, dumpster diving, and binge eating peanut M&M’s! You don... | 1h 05m 51s | ||||||
| 1/4/26 | Thirsty for Change! | Ep 5 | Maxine and Isabelle reflect on celebrating New Year’s Eve alcohol-free and what it truly feels like to wake up clear on New Year’s Day and EVERY DAY! Isabelle has a little Grinch in her, and Maxine shares the New Year’s Day moment last year—watching the sunrise on a Miami beach—that quietly changed everything. Another laugh out loud episiode, these women are living proof that you can sparkle and be the life of the party without a drop of booze! ------------------------ Please visit our websit... | 59m 28s | ||||||
