That is the question (so tune in for the answer!)","description":"Welcome back to the She2.0 podcast! Today I\u2019m in conversation with Laura Bradburn, Owner & Founder of Branch Out Wellness and Holistic Health Consultant. Following up to dry January, I confess a few things to Laura about my perspective on alcohol and my own personal habits. Don\u2019t judge because I went out on a limb to be honest for the benefit of this conversation. There is a lot to say about going dry in regard to both pros and cons. On the one hand, giving up alcohol entirely is the best thing to do for your body and your brain but on the other hand, what if you\u2019re like me and don\u2019t want to give up a nice bold glass of cabernet sauvignon? I have significantly cut down my wine consumption, especially since the Surgeon General has called for cancer warning labels on all alcohol. That\u2019s enough to scare anyone sober. However, do we do it all at once or is moderation still a thing? That depends on your dependency, I guess. Many of us wonder if we can even go dry for a week, much less a month. In the circles I\u2019m in, we\u2019re having honest conversations about our reliance on alcohol for many things \u2013 reward, stress and socializing. After a few weeks of wine on weekends only, I have personally noticed a big difference. Not all of it has lived up to the stories I\u2019ve heard from others, but I feel great and have more energy and I love looking forward to a nice bold red on a Friday night. I\u2019ve never been an all or nothing gal and I feel that scarcity makes me (and many others) fail and diets and dry drinking. But we can\u2019t just leave it at that. We need an answer. A \u2018magic pill\u2019 of sorts. And that\u2019s where Laura Bradburn comes in! Join us for this \u2018on the line\u2019 chat about cocktail consumption and an interesting alternative that won\u2019t leave you feeling completely \u2018hung out to dry\u2019! Tune in!
