I listen to most of the 10 minute Monday podcasts and many of the longer ones. I find the content to be inspirational, educational and helpful. I love the non judgmental approach and that the topics are so relevant to someone on a mindful moderation journey. I always come away with additional perspective and a feeling of being supported and understood.
Perfect information for me - will keep up my couple dry days and really limit drinks to “2” on drinking days.

Perfect! Claudia was great. Thanks, Mike - another terrific and helpful podcast
I love the short episodes that dive into a topic or science or habit change. The guests can be interesting but I do feel like it’s heavy on the fully sober crowd (which is fine!) and that can be a little alienating if you intend to moderate or only drink socially.
