## Resource

Shea Gomez has built a community helping women rethink their relationship with alcohol. She joins Carl to talk about her journey from blacking out at open bars to building No Booze Babes - and how getting sober opened the door to a life she never saw coming. She joins Carl to get honest about the gray area drinking that consumed her early 20s - the blackouts, the bartenders she made out with, the conversations she couldn't remember with the people she loved. And what happened when she finally stopped: she had to face everything she'd been numbing, including feelings about her sexuality she hadn't let herself sit with sober. She shares what it was like to start dating sober, explore her attraction to women for the first time, and navigate the confusion, fear, and freedom that came with it. They also talk about people-pleasing, shame, and why learning to trust yourself is hard work. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
