If the idea of heading into your first spring or summer without alcohol feels a little... weird (or totally overwhelming), this episode is for you.

I’m sharing some honest thoughts, personal experiences, and practical tips to help you feel more confident, prepared, and actually excited about your sober season ahead. 🌸☀️

Let’s talk about: 🍹 Why we associate warm weather and social events with drinking—and how to shift that mindset 🙅‍♀️ Trading FOMO (fear of missing out) for JOMO (the joy of missing out!) 💭 Unpacking the fantasy vs. the actual reality of drinking 🧃 How to show up with a plan, not just “hope you don’t drink” ✨ What it looks like to have fun and feel free—without the booze

I’ll also give you some simple strategies like: ✔️ Bringing your own non-alcoholic drink (and making it cute!) ✔️ Knowing what to say when someone asks why you’re not drinking ✔️ Having a solid exit strategy if something just isn’t vibing

You deserve a spring and summer that feels fresh, light, joyful, and 100% you. And guess what? It gets to be fun.

Ever faced something so overwhelming that it felt impossible to get through? In this episode, I’m getting real about two of the biggest challenges in my life—becoming a mom to my incredible daughter, Dylan, who has Down syndrome and autism, and my journey to sobriety.

Ever wonder why just having one never feels like enough? Or why moderation with alcohol seems downright impossible? It’s not because you lack willpower—it’s because alcohol literally hijacks your brain.

In this episode of The Shannon McCabe Show, I’m breaking down what’s really happening when we drink—how alcohol spikes dopamine, messes with stress hormones, and rewires the brain’s reward system to keep you coming back for more. We’re talking about:

🧠 Why alcohol makes cravings feel uncontrollable 💥 How it fuels anxiety, mood swings, and dependence ✨ Why quitting feels hard—but also why freedom is 100% possible

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the drinking cycle and wondered why moderation never works, this episode will help you make sense of it all—while giving you the tools to step into a life that actually feels free, clear, and strong.
