In this engaging episode of Mocktails Or Messy, we dive into the colorful world of Katrixie Katrina, known as the Northeast Ginger and the Mocktail Queen of Pittsburgh. Katrina shares her journey from Boston to Pittsburgh, carving out a niche in the mocktail scene. Her story is one of resilience and transformation, touching on personal growth, mental health challenges, and the complexities of bisexuality in a hetero-presenting relationship.
Katrina opens up about her experiences during the pandemic, where she gained over 90 pounds and faced severe depression and anxiety. She candidly discusses her decision to stop drinking and how she turned to marijuana as a coping mechanism. This period of her life was a turning point, leading her to embrace holistic health practices and reduce the toxic load on her body.
Her entrepreneurial spirit shines as she recounts her transformation from being fired at Ruby Tuesday for a minor infraction to owning her own restaurant. Katrina emphasizes the importance of understanding your nervous system and coping with life's challenges in healthy ways. The episode also explores the misconceptions surrounding bisexuality, particularly in relationships that appear heteronormative. Katrina passionately shares her views on living authentically and navigating societal assumptions.
Listeners are treated to humorous anecdotes, like the time Katrina rented a party bus to tour dive bars, wearing a shirt emblazoned with 'party with Vegas sluts.' Her vibrant personality and unapologetic approach to life offer inspiration and laughter. Overall, this episode is a compelling mix of mocktail wisdom, life lessons, and heartfelt discussions, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in personal growth, entrepreneurship, and the evolving landscape of hospitality.
