I recognized that in social settings I still felt a little bit excluded and sure I can have sparkling water or juice, but I felt like I wanted something a little bit more fun, but more specifically for those celebratory and toast moments like: hey, I just bought a house, or it's my birthday or it's new Year's and you kind of want to have that toast.
Ever thought you can't have fun without alcohol? Think again. In this episode of The Sober Butterfly Podcast, Nadine Mulvina sits down with Ashley Johnson, the dynamic CEO and founder of Wine Not, a Black-owned nonalcoholic sparkling wine company.

Ashley and Nadine dive into the nitty-gritty of navigating social events without alcohol. They chat about the awkwardness of sober dating and how to deal with friends who don't quite get your new lifestyle.

The conversation also touches on the often-overlooked differences between sobriety and recovery, providing valuable perspectives for anyone on this path.
And let's not forget the unique challenges of being one of the few Black women in professional settings—Ashley shares her experiences candidly, offering a nuanced view that's both inspiring and enlightening.
