C’mon Paulette… can’t you just have one? No.

In this episode of Unbuzzed & Unbothered, I’m breaking down why moderation didn’t work for me...and why it doesn’t work for a lot of people.

We’re talking about why moderation sounds easy but becomes a mental tug-of-war, why quitting isn’t weakness, and why full-on sobriety has brought me more peace and freedom than “just one” ever did.

This is your reminder that you don’t have to explain or justify your decision to anyone. And if you’re wondering if moderation is keeping you stuck, you are not alone.

Healing isn’t just about feeling better. Sometimes, it’s about outgrowing people, places, habits, and even versions of yourself that you used to align with.

In this episode, I share the unexpected (and honestly hard) parts of healing: the loneliness, the identity shifts, and the messy process of figuring out where you fit now.

If you’re navigating this right now, you are so not alone.

Can you really celebrate birthdays, holidays, or big wins without alcohol? YES! And in this episode, I share how.

From the surprising joys of sober celebrations to the challenges and new rituals I’ve created, this is my honest take on what it’s like to mark life’s big (and small) moments unbuzzed.

Whether you’re sober, sober-curious, or just exploring what celebration can look like without alcohol, you’re welcome here.
