211: Sober Curious, Maritime Laws and a Terminal New Relationship

BOATS, BOOZE AND REWARDISHMENTS! This week, Kristen does a deep dive into the unintended consequences of an old maritime law called The Jones Act, which impacts our commute times, exposure to harmful pollutants, traffic congestion and increased road accidents. We then deep dive into why Gen Z and Millennials are embracing a “sober curious” or sober serious lifestyle and highlight all the research proving alcohol use may not be in anyone’s best interest. As we move toward bettering ourselves, Hilarie challenges us to a “rewardishment” challenge.

Advice:

1. A new mom reaches out for support navigating what’s appropriate for her husband’s golf habit, as they adjust to life with a one-week-old.
2. A listener in her mid-twenties reached out for opinions on a very new relationship with a man who revealed he is navigating a terminal illness. Should she stay or part ways?
3. How can our listener politely decline an invite to church from a friend?
