  • Dating without alcohol | the harsh truth about sober dating
    Dec 18 2025

    Is dating in sobriety actually harder, or just more intentional? This episode explores the shift from "drunken confidence" to finding real confidence while navigating the dating world without liquid courage. I share the raw reality of overcoming anxiety to approach a stranger and why I’m finally prioritizing my own growth over the "back-to-back" relationship cycle. If you are navigating the sober dating scene, learn how to get your spark back and attract a partner who loves the true you.
