I find peace in the idea of becoming. It's an ongoing process.
Ever wondered how ditching alcohol can change your life? In this episode of 'Sober Stories', host Beth Bowen chats with Yazmin Spark, a trailblazer in the non-alcoholic beverage scene and founder of Align Events. Yazmin opens up about her six-year sobriety journey, sharing how giving up booze has dramatically eased her anxiety and led to profound self-discovery.
But it hasn't all been smooth sailing; she talks candidly about the challenges, including losing friends along the way and navigating relationships where her partner still drinks. Yazmin's story is one of resilience and joy. As a bi-racial black woman, she brings a unique perspective to the sober community, advocating for diversity and inclusivity. She’s not just surviving without alcohol; she’s thriving, creating zero-proof fun through her cocktail bar service that’s been featured on BBC and Alcohol Change UK.
Her business is more than just a venture; it’s a celebration of sober joy and diverse representation. Beth and Yazmin also dive into the changing attitudes towards alcohol and the rise of non-alcoholic bars. They discuss how these spaces are reshaping social interactions and providing inclusive environments for everyone. Yazmin’s journey is a testament to the power of sobriety in finding clarity and becoming your true self.
Whether you're sober, curious, or somewhere in between, this episode offers a refreshing take on living alcohol-free. Yazmin’s enthusiasm is infectious, making this conversation a must-listen for anyone interested in the evolving landscape of sobriety.
