Send us a textAre Sober People Missing Out… or Finally Tapping In?Welcome to Sober & Lit! In this episode, Ruby and Susan bust one of the biggest lies about sobriety: that going alcohol-free means missing out on fun, freedom, and connection. Is it true—or have we just been sold a clever illusion?What if the real fear isn't missing out—but never fully showing up?What if quitting drinking is the invitation to finally feel lit from within?We unpack the FOMO myth, spill honest stories about navigating social events sober, and share how ditching the drink actually amplified joy, confidence, and community. We also explore how social media and drinking culture fuel comparison, and what happens when you flip FOMO into JOMO—the Joy of Missing Out.Expect resources, real talk, and personal practices that light you up.If you've ever wondered, “Will I lose my social life if I quit drinking?”—this episode is your empowering reframe. Spoiler: what you gain might just blow your mind.

Send us a textWhat if eating more could actually help you feel better, weigh less, and ditch the drink for good? In this powerful episode of Sober & Lit, Susan and Ruby sit down with Dr. Ginny Trieweiler—a psychologist, certified health coach, and author of Slender for Good After 50—to unpack the radical idea that you don't need restriction, calorie counting, or alcohol to feel lit, vibrant, and free.Ginny gets real about her own midlife transformation: facing down chronic pain, prediabetes, emotional eating, and nightly drinking—and the four mindset and nutrition shifts that helped her reclaim her health without ever going on another diet.

With ties to the US and China on shaky ground, India is leaning on a new partner—the UAE. The economic relationship has surged past $100 billion in FY25, and this surge has resulted in Indian companies from Tata to Omega Seiki Mobility setting up shop in the Emirates' tax-free zones.Attractive incentives like access to capital, world-class infrastructure, and geographical centrality are attracting Indian manufacturers abroad. But this raises a big question: is the UAE a launchpad for India's global ambitions—or a risk to it's own manufacturing dreams?Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

The Online Gaming Bill 2025 has wiped out India's real-money gaming industry overnight. But the ripple effects extend far beyond fantasy cricket and poker tables.For years, payment aggregators like Razorpay, PhonePe, Cashfree, and PayU quietly powered the industry's explosive growth. They processed deposits, payouts, and billions of rupees in prize transfers every month. Real-money gaming wasn't just another client vertical. It was their golden goose that delivered high margins in a hyper-competitive market.Now, with the ban in place, these fintechs face a sudden revenue void. For some, gaming accounted for as much as 30% of net revenues. The loss comes just as many are prepping for IPOs, making the timing even more brutal.So, what does the gaming ban really mean for India's payments industry?Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Giva is shaking up India's jewellery market, long dominated by gold, with an unexpected bet on silver. Founded in 2019, the company has already grown into a $2 billion brand by targeting the massive but largely unorganized silver jewellery segment.Unlike competitors such as Caratlane and Bluestone that built their businesses around gold and diamonds, Giva has leaned on an “affordable luxury” play—high-margin silver products, agile design cycles, and impulse-friendly purchases. But challenges loom. Rising silver prices could cut into margins, and its aggressive offline push will test whether silver can truly rival gold in a market steeped in tradition.Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

India is rolling out the biggest reform to its Goods and Services Tax since 2017. The GST Council has approved a new structure that takes effect on September 22. It will reshape how everything from household essentials to cars, insurance, and services are taxed. The government says GST 2.0 will simplify compliance and lower costs, but several states warn of heavy revenue losses and economists question the design.
