It's Hard

First, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. To all of you who have supported It's Hard over the past 4 years, I am forever grateful. In this episode, I explain why I made this difficult decision to move on from this chapter in my life. It wasn't an easy choice but I know it is what is best for me in the long run.In this transition, I am thrilled about my time being shifted toward Sober Squad -- here to cultivate a community of sober curious people by creating spaces and events where we can connect with likeminded individuals. We are operating fully in SLC at the moment but are open to conversations regarding other cities. Message me at @paigejholmgren if you are interested in learning more. I love you all so much, please don't hesitate to reach out if you need someone to talk to, have questions, or want to share something! 

Toxic relationships are heavy and hard to understand. Why me? Why would this happen? Did I deserve that? Today, I talk openly about my personal experience in a toxic relationship and how studies have shown the way alcoholism and addiction play a role. It is highly likely that you or someone you know has experienced or is experiencing abuse and toxicity in a relationship, you aren't alone. SALT LAKE CITY EVENTS:June 8th at 6:30PM - Sober Meetup at Curiousity!

Do you often google: "How to know if I should stop drinking?" or "Do I have a problem with alcohol?" and come up with the same unhelpful results? This episode is centered around encouraging you to ask yourself the questions that will help you come to the conclusion of how alcohol plays a role in your life and what you want that to look like moving forward. I am not giving professional advice on how to get sober, but rather helping you get curious and come to that decision on your own. SALT LAKE CITY EVENTS:June 8th at 6:30PM - Sober Meetup at Curiousity!

Alex Zauner has been sober since 2014. Before the sober curious movement, before NA bars, before delicious NA options. The only option for her when getting sober was going to recovery. Today, she has created various modalities that help people on their journey of getting sober. She does 1 on 1 coaching, group coaching, and has started more than one sober community that meets weekly. In this episode, she shares how the power of community can support us through sobriety, that there are more options out there today than there were in 2014, and that we can all reimagine our relationship with alcohol. Alex Zauner Resources:https://www.alexandrazauner.comFree Spirits Sober Community: https://www.alexandrazauner.com/sober-communityInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexandrazauner/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@alexandraluciazauner?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcCreating Ripples Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/creating-ripples/id1543646618It's Hard Resources: https://www.itshardpodcast.comFollow It's Hard on Instagram if you don't already!

Being sober while dealing with emotions is HARD. If you have drank, you know the feeling of needing a glass of wine after a long day. Taking the edge off makes things a bit easier. So what happens when you decide to stop drinking? How tf do you deal with emotions?Well, it is hard, and I am still figuring it out. The one thing I can promise, is that you will feel everything, which is a blessing and a curse. Alcohol offers a buffer when you are down, in this episode, I talk about how I have processed emotions since I stopped drinking.It's Hard Resources: https://www.itshardpodcast.comFollow It's Hard on Instagram if you don't already!

One of the biggest fears I had when I decided to stop drinking at 22 years old was...am I not going to be fun anymore? In this episode I talk about how I am finding that my "fun factor" is up to ME! How fun we are is not determined by society's measure of fun but rather how we see ourselves and what we enjoy. What I talk about in this episode:My fears going into sobrietyWill I be enough?Will people still want to be my friend?How do I make friends while sober?How I shifted my mindset to knowing I am fun without alcoholWhat is even considered "fun"?I don't go out everytime I am invited Answering the question: How do you handle when you get bored/annoyed around people who are drinking?It's Hard Resources: https://www.itshardpodcast.comFollow It's Hard on Instagram if you don't already!

The New Year is coming up and if you are anything like me, you don't realllyyy stress about jumping into a new year. However, it is a good time to reflect, level set, and create a vision for the next year of your life. I deeply believe in doing everything with intention. If you want your life to be a certain way, you have the capacity to create the life you desire. You just have to do the WORK. In this episode, I talk about the power of vision planning (when you do it with intention), the challenges of new years resolutions, and I end with tips for sobriety during the holidays and how to be intentional with Dry January.
