What happens when you show up to life without alcohol? Eliza Desch shares her transformation from surviving to thriving on the Path and beyond! Eliza and I talk about her decision to take a break from drinking that led her to join This Naked Mind's Path program where we met in December 2020. Eliza showed up two months AF and spent a year honing her alcohol-free muscles, creating new experiences and fostering deep connections with other newly sober friends. Along the way Eliza rediscovered her joy for living and learned to prioritize her own well-being. In addition to living AF, Eliza shares her health journey that ultimately led to her losing 40+ pounds! She has also become an fierce advocate of the NA (non-alcoholic) beverage industry and has watched her confidence and business soar. Eliza Desch is one of the Bay Area's most in-demand hair and makeup artists with over a decade of experience creating flawless, customized looks for brides, special and professional occasions, and a host of respected brands and editorial clients.
