I couldn’t imagine a more meaningful way to launch the Women & Wellness Series for 2026 than by sitting down with Harmony.
Harmony was my very first podcast guest when I launched The Growth Lounge last year, and bringing her back for this two-part conversation feels both full circle and deeply intentional.
In Part 1 of this 2 part episode with Harmony, she opens up about the nuances of each year. How sobriety evolves, what changes after the initial decision, and the clarity, healing, and self-trust that unfold over time.
This is not a conversation about labels or rock bottoms.
It is a conversation about choice.
We talk about:
• What to expect emotionally and physically when you choose sobriety
• Why each year of sobriety brings a different kind of growth
• The challenges no one talks about and the freedom that makes it worth it
• Navigating sobriety when you don’t identify as an alcoholic
• Creating community and connection as a sober-curious woman
If one of your intentions this year is to limit alcohol, take January off, or simply explore what life could feel like with more clarity and presence, this episode will meet you with wisdom, honesty, and so much warmth.
Harmony also shares how to connect with others who are sober curious, reminding us that this journey does not have to be lonely and that curiosity is often the first step toward meaningful change.
This conversation is gentle, grounding, and deeply encouraging.
Come as you are. Stay curious. You are welcome here.
