Our relationship with food is so complex and important for both our physical and mental health. I’ve spent a lot of my adult life trying to deprogram diet culture and deal with guilt around certain foods, reprogramming the morality we place on how we eat. And I've spent the last few years trying to figure out how to use food to make me feel physically good... how can I nourish myself, how can I optimize myself with what I consume, and how food impacts my hormone imbalances.

If you’ve scrolled through TikTok this past month you’ve probably seen a lot of people finishing their “Dry January” or rethinking their relationship with alcohol in 2023. (Even Miley says she’s 4 months sober, and we’re ready for our #Flowers era!) There’s been a major shift towards the sober-curious as we become more health-conscious, productivity-driven, and aware of our mental health. So this week, we’re taking a deep, hard (and hella vulnerable) look at our relationship with alcohol, and bringing you along for the ride as we reevaluate how to move forward with booze. We’re not here to convince you to quit drinking — we love ourselves a boozy night out as much as the next queen, and this podcast was born from (more than) a few glasses of rosé! But while we aspire to age like a fine wine, our former drinking habits have not aged well, and getting drunk definitely isn’t serving us in our 30s.

While we love a New Years resolution self-improvement vibe, we’re officially breaking up with the toxic diet culture goals that are so pervasive every January. But it’s hard to tune out the BS “wellness advice” that’s taking over Instagram and focus on what’s *actually* healthy and sustainable for us in the long run. So if you’re over the “new year new me” weight loss narrative, and you’re looking to make 2023 the year of restriction-free eating for pleasure and nourishment: Abbey Sharp just entered the chat.
