What happens when you take the mic, skip the “liquid courage,” and tell the truth anyway? We open up about two moments that reshaped our confidence: MCing a 90th birthday with shaking hands and a full heart, and saying yes to a day at the races with people we barely knew. No shortcuts, no numbing—just the kind of presence that turns fear into evidence that you can handle more than you thought.
The stories are small and seismic. A speech becomes a bridge between mother and daughter, where sobriety transforms old resentment into real connection. A social invite that once would’ve required a pregame turns into a simple, joyful experiment: pick the horses by name, laugh at the losses, and leave clear-headed and proud. That momentum carries into a primary school reunion, where karaoke and reconnection feel natural without a drink in hand. Along the way, we talk about how alcohol used to work until it didn’t—how it made us selfish, loud, and far from who we wanted to be—and how removing it gave us back choice, presence, and the energy to celebrate others.
If you’re rethinking your relationship with alcohol, curious about building confidence without a crutch, or just hungry for proof that courage grows by doing, this conversation offers practical hope. We share the wins, the wobbles, and the simple moves that add up: speak even when your hand shakes, say yes to the thing that scares you a little, and let the afterglow become your new feedback loop.
