Recently, I’ve been reflecting on the concept of the “hot girl walk” and how it’s become a trendy way to describe a simple, yet transformative practice.

A Sober Curiosity: Finding Joy And Connection Beyond Alcohol
Becoming a parent is a transformative experience in many ways (more on that at a later date), but one of the most unexpected shifts for me was the decision to stop drinking alcohol.
