A new twist on purse wine! �
Did you ever bring your own wine to an event that you knew wouldn’t be serving something you liked or to drink (not driving) on the way? Yikes. Me too. Now I’m still bringing my own wine to parties and events but it is AF!
In this episode of the Sober & Lit Podcast Ruby and I share how you can say no by saying YES! With strategies to take care of yourself so you don’t end up caving or white knuckling it. �
What you will learn:
✨ Why saying no isn’t about willpower (it’s about wiring + people-pleasing)� ✨ How family dynamics and social pressure quietly pull you back in� ✨ Simple ways to prepare before events so you don’t panic in the moment� ✨ Go-to phrases that feel natural (not awkward or rehearsed)� ✨ Why bringing your own alcohol-free drink can be a game changer� ✨ How to honor yourself and belong — at the same time
This episode is equal parts heart, honesty, and practical tools you can use tonight.
