This proactive approach empowers you to experience real joy and connection without relying on alcohol. Lee’s unique blend of humour and compassion makes this episode engaging and relatable. His mission is clear: to help others live an alcohol-free life that’s fulfilling and genuine. So if you're ready to redefine what independence means to you, this podcast is a must-listen.
