    Alright, friends. Today’s episode is all about Dry January, a topic near and dear to my heart, and who better to discuss with than Amanda White.

So, as we dive into the year of YOU, today, Heather talks with Amanda about setting boundaries with drinking, how to engage in self-care and how saying no to others can lead you to saying yes to yourself and the things you care about. This is one of the most personal and compelling conversations I’ve had to date on Make Me Known and I am so thrilled to share Amanda’s story with all of you. Whether you are in Dry January as we speak, contemplating sobriety or, simply reevaluating your drinking habits, I am certain you’ll love this chat as much as I did.
