It's Hard
It's Hard
Paige Boner
Welcome to It's Hard -- a sober curious podcast + community that has authentic conversations allowing people to learn, grow and feel less alone as they reimagine their relationship with alcohol. Join me, Utah based Sober Twenty-Something, Paige Boner (yes, that is really my last name + yes the podcast name is 100% intentional), for authentic, raw, and fun conversations about something that a lot of us are navigating, our relationship with alcohol. The sober curious movement picked up after 2020 and now has become a nationwide phenomenon. People of all ages and backgrounds are actively choosing not to drink. However, the sober community is still mostly centered around those who struggle with alcoholism and addiction. There is room for more content regarding the active choice to stop drinking. With every episode, my mission is to showcase a world where it is normal to say no to a night out, wine with dinner, and a hangover Saturday morning. I hope you feel seen and understood through my show, to know you aren’t alone in the journey to reimagine your relationship with alcohol. I am not an expert, just learning right alongside you and hoping to find community in the hard stuff. Join me for new episodes every Monday -- I hope these make mondays a little less hard. @itshardpodcast // www.itshardpodcast.com
Goodbye + Thank You
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!
