Episode 024: The Dry Challenge with Hilary Sheinbaum Professional Drinkers from Choose Sunrise

In this podcast episode, I got to chat with Hilary Sheinbaum, an author and journalist based in New York City. Our discussion revolved around the concept of dry January and the positive impacts of temporarily abstaining from alcohol. Hilary shared her personal journey through the transformative experience of her initial dry January, highlighting improved sleep, elevated mood, and an overall sense of well-being.

 

We explored the evolving landscape of non alcoholic beverages, acknowledging the exciting options available today. Shifting towards workplace culture, we delved into the importance of inclusive events that don't solely centre around alcohol, drawing from Hilary's own journey in journalism, which evolved from alcohol-related content to advocating for non-alcoholic choices.

 

Throughout our conversation, we shed light on the societal impact of alcohol-related accidents and expenses, emphasising the need for more inclusive spaces for those opting not to drink. Hilary's book, "The Dry Challenge," emerged as a compassionate guide, encouraging individuals to explore a break from alcohol without judgment. Her website, goingdry.co, is also coming soon, and you can contact Hilary on her Instagram (@goingdry.co).
