    "Confidence isn't Liquid" // Sober Confidence & Partying Anywhere w/ BO GREEN

    "I went from being the guy bringing booze to every party to the guy who says, ‘Sorry, I gave up drinking yesterday.’" – Bo Green I recently sat down with Bo Green, a sober coach and global adventurer who has also redefined what it means to party. From binge-drinking party animal to sober dancing in Bali, Bo shares how he built confidence and connection without relying on alcohol. Bo's instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_bo_green/ We cover: How discomfort fuels growth. "Every time I feel my heart race and think, ‘I don’t know if I want to do this,’ that’s when I say yes. On the other side of discomfort is growth." – Bo Confidence isn’t liquid—it’s practiced. "Once you can dance your heart out sober, you can unlock everything. That’s the goal." – Bo Tools for partying sober. "I bring a journal, a sarong, and essential oils to every party. That’s my vibe now—and it works." – Bo Bo also opens up about his sobriety journey: baptizing himself in Lake Tahoe, journaling through temptation during a cross-country road trip, and thriving at ecstatic dances overlooking the ocean in Bali. "The goal isn’t just to stop drinking—it’s to show up fully. And once you unlock that, the party doesn’t end—it just gets better." – Bo Bo Green: "I saw being an introvert as a failure. So, I surrounded myself with the most outgoing, craziest people I could find. I started testing my confidence on people I’d never see again. If I messed up, who cares?" Evan the Party Coach: "I remember being so jealous of a friend who could talk to everyone. Then one day, I realized: Actually, that could be me. So I started surrounding myself with people who lit me up and learned to reflect that energy." Bo Green: "People always ask me how I went from the guy who brought booze to every party to the guy dancing sober with no regrets. The answer? I realized I didn’t need liquid courage. I just needed to trust myself." Evan the Party Coach: "I get asked all the time, 'What are you on?' And my answer is simple: I’m on purpose. If you’ve got a purpose, you don’t need anything else to fuel the vibe." Bo Green: "The goal is to have more confidence sober than you ever had drunk. To dance your heart out, no matter where you are—even waiting in line at an airport. If you can unlock that, you can unlock everything else." Evan the Party Coach: "It’s about freeing the party within. Once you know you can bring that energy anywhere, without relying on substances, you stop chasing and start creating." Bo Green: "Every time I feel discomfort, I lean into it. Because on the other side of discomfort is growth. If you stay in your little circle of comfort, you’ll never grow." Evan the Party Coach: "The party isn’t in avoiding the hard stuff. It’s in showing up for it and realizing you’re stronger than you think. That’s where freedom lives." Bo Green: "The best parties are the ones where you can fully express yourself. No pressure to hook up, no need for validation—just authentic connections and pure joy." Evan the Party Coach: "I’ve been to sober ecstatic dances overlooking the ocean, Burning Man naked trampoline parties, and wild raves. What makes them transformative isn’t the setting—it’s being fully present and alive in your own skin." Bo Green: "I’ll never drink again because I’ve proven to myself that I don’t need it. I can dance harder, connect deeper, and live freer without it. And that’s something no drink can give me." Evan the Party Coach: "It’s not about rejecting the party—it’s about redefining it. Once you free the party within, everything else becomes a choice, not a crutch." 00:00 Introduction and Season Overview 00:11 Meet Bo Green: Sober Coach and Traveler 00:40 Beau's Journey from Introvert to Extrovert 03:30 Life Changes and Travel Adventures 04:44 Helping Others: Beau's Coaching Approach 05:54 Overcoming Addictions and Personal Growth 10:41 Facing Discomfort and Embracing Growth 16:49 Conscious Partying and Ecstatic Dance 26:46 Final Thoughts and Closing Remarks

    "Connecting w/ 'God' through Partying" // w/ ALEXANDRA KELLER (Reiki Healer)

    What happens when two souls—both seekers, party-goers, and self-proclaimed energy workers—collide in a conversation about chaos, connection, and higher consciousness? You get a podcast episode that invites you to rethink the way you approach life, parties, and the energy you bring to every space you enter. In this episode, Evan Cudworth shares his journey from reckless rager to intentional connector. He’s a guide for anyone looking to transform their social life into a source of joy, freedom, and growth. Known for partying sober for two years and helping others embrace authentic social connections, Evan breaks down how to turn anxiety into flow, even in the middle of a festival. Joining him is Alexandra, a former "crazy party girl" turned energy worker and healer. With a background in trauma-informed practices, Alexandra’s approach is grounded in harmonizing higher consciousness with raw humanity. Whether she’s guiding ceremonies, channeling chaos on the dance floor, or teaching people how to heal through Reiki, Alexandra offers practical insights for anyone seeking to align their inner world with their outer experiences. Together, Evan and Alexandra unpack why the party never truly ends—because the real party is within you. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycles of regret, questioned the meaning of joy, or wondered why connection sometimes feels so elusive, this episode is your invitation to shift your perspective. Tune in for stories about skydiving festivals, healing through chaos, and tools to help you step into a life worth celebrating. connect with Alexandra: https://www.healeralexandra.com/ connect w/ Evan: partycoach.me/links QUOTES: "When you're in your highest expression of joy and authenticity, that energy radiates out. Amazing things can happen. You'll meet incredible people, go on side quests, and find unexpected opportunities." – Alexandra "If you never want the party to end, there’s probably something you’re avoiding." – Alexandra "Higher consciousness isn’t about being above anyone else—it’s about harmonizing with every version of yourself and others without judgment." – Evan "Partying was my way to connect with God. It let me feel something bigger than myself, even if I didn’t have the language for it at the time." – Alexandra "Substances are tools, not solutions. The key is knowing when they serve you and when they don’t." – Alexandra "A party can’t be controlled. If you’re controlling it, it’s not a party." – Evan "Growth is like a tree. You plant seeds, nurture them, and eventually enjoy the fruit. But once the fruit is gone, you start the process again. Growth isn’t a one-time thing." – Alexandra "I love where I am now, and I loved where I was then. There’s no regret—just different seasons of joy." – Alexandra "When you’re in a room full of people vibrating to the same energy, it’s not fake. It’s real, and it’s powerful. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise." – Evan 00:00 Welcome to Season Three 00:24 Lessons from Partying 01:22 SkyFest Memories 02:36 Transitioning Partying Habits 04:31 Exploring Higher Consciousness 08:51 Understanding Psychic Abilities 15:13 Energy Work at Parties 20:12 Rituals and Frequency Matching 26:32 Navigating Substance Use and Enjoyment 28:03 Practical Advice on Substance Relationships 29:50 Personal Experiences and Reflections 33:50 Healing and Wellness Practices 38:05 Intuition vs. Science 40:09 Party Culture and Personal Growth 49:38 Higher Consciousness and Harmonizing 51:31 Working with Higher Consciousness 52:52 Final Thoughts and Farewell

    "Alternative Addiction Treatment & Modern Media " Matt Boll & Andy Mills (cofounders, REFLECTOR podcast)

    Join the Party Coach as we sit down with seasoned podcasters Andy (co-creator of "The Daily" and "Rabbit Hole" at the NYT) and Matt (Crimetown; Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling) to discuss their new venture, REFLECTOR, a documentary-style podcast that tells stories about the messy debates in our society, and on how deeply listening to one another can reveal a sense of shared humanity. Their first episode details THE SINCLAIR METHOD, an alternative treatment for alcohol use disorder using a drug called NALTREXONE. As someone who has spent 10 years in various states of recovery & investigating my own drinking, I had never heard of this method. We discuss why, and then navigate the influence of social norms and media on divisiveness, particularly in regards to alcohol & addiction treatment. Can storytelling bridge gaps or is conflict baked in? We explore our own definitions of partying, explore over-drinking, medication awareness with Naltrexone, and the complexities of modern journalism. 00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:52 Andy and Matt's Podcast Journey 01:40 The Mission Behind Reflektor 03:20 Challenges in Media and Storytelling 08:42 The Role of Fun and Social Trust 10:02 Sober Socializing and Alternatives to Drinking 24:00 The Impact of COVID-19 on Drinking Habits 35:11 The Sinclair Method and Naltrexone 42:08 Personal Reflections on Medication and ADHD 42:59 The Stigma Around Addiction Medication 44:01 The Sinclair Method and Medical Education 44:48 Personal Stories of Addiction and Recovery 45:50 The Role of Party Culture in Addiction 51:14 The Importance of Connection and Belonging 55:38 The Struggle with Faith and Spirituality 01:05:06 The Need for Open-Minded Curiosity in Journalism 01:08:21 Final Thoughts and "Reflections"
