    How Parents Can Show Up When Alcohol Enters the Picture w/ Joanna Lilley

    Once you understand what drinking looks like through a young person’s eyes, the next question is… what can you actually do as a parent? These years can feel like walking a tightrope — you want to guide and protect them, but you also don’t want to push them away. In this episode, I talk with therapeutic consultant Joanna Lilly about how parents can build trust early, respond instead of react, and set real boundaries without closing the door on connection. She shares what she sees most often from families — the fears, the common missteps, and the small shifts that make a big difference. If you want to support your teen or young adult without losing that connection, this conversation will help you approach it with more calm and clarity. Want to drink less with no pressure to quit?

  2. Why Teens Really Start Drinking w/ Joanna Lilley

    Why Teens Really Start Drinking w/ Joanna Lilley

    For most young people, their first drink isn’t about getting drunk — it’s about feeling like they belong. When we see it through that lens, the whole conversation changes. In this episode, I talk with therapeutic consultant Joanna Lilly about what’s really driving early drinking — identity, belonging, and pressure to fit in. We talk about how experimentation can start early, what signs can signal something more serious, and why giving young people realistic options, like a simple 90-day pause, can open the door to change. If you’re a parent or someone who cares about a teen or young adult, this conversation will help you see the world through their eyes. Want to drink less with no pressure to quit?

    Could a Daily Pill Help You Drink Less? Let's Chat About Naltrexone

    Today I’m sharing something that more people should know about… but most still don’t. It’s called naltrexone — a prescription medication that can actually help reduce how rewarding alcohol feels. That “buzz” or dopamine spike? This blunts it, making it easier to drink less without relying on willpower alone. In this episode, I’ll walk you through: What naltrexone does in your brainWhy it’s not about quitting, but changing your relationship with alcoholAnd how it fits into our newest offering at Sunnyside — Sunnyside MedThis is the first time we’re offering medical support alongside behavior change. And while naltrexone isn’t a magic pill, when combined with planning, tracking, and coaching, it can be a powerful tool for making moderation easier and more sustainable. If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t want to drink tonight”… and then poured one anyway, this might be worth exploring. You can learn more at https://www.joinsunnysidemed.com. Sunnyside Med provides access to naltrexone via a compounded medication (Naltrexone 50mg + B6 5mg). As always, none of this is medical advice — just information to help you stay curious on your path.

    Behind the Zero Proof Boom w/ Sean Goldsmith

    Welcome back to Journey to the Sunnyside! If you listened to Part One, we talked about the cultural shift behind the rise of NA drinks. In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the business side. Sean Goldsmith, co-founder of The Zero Proof, shares how he went from blogging about the movement to running one of the largest online NA retailers in the country — with more than 500 SKUs, national distribution, and their own brands. We get into early grind stories, raising capital at the right moment, how they decide which products make the cut, and why 93% of their customers still drink alcohol. This is a great look at what it takes to build a brand inside a movement. Let’s dive in. Want to drink less with no pressure to quit?

    Why NA Drinks Are Winning the Culture War w/ Sean Goldsmith

    Hey everyone, welcome back to Journey to the Sunnyside. Today’s conversation is a fun one — because it’s not just about drinking less, it’s about what’s happening around us. Gallup just reported record-low drinking rates in the U.S., and you can feel this cultural shift everywhere — from grocery aisles to restaurant menus. To unpack what’s going on, I sat down with Sean Goldsmith, co-founder of The Zero Proof — one of the biggest players in the non-alcoholic beverage space. We get into how this movement grew from a niche to a cultural wave, why retailers and distributors are jumping in, and why NA drinks are becoming their own category — not just a replacement.
