Alcohol, Identity & the Rise of Alcohol-Free Living

For the optimizers

Curious how alcohol shapes your wellness, identity, and connections? This conversation explores building a more conscious relationship with what’s in your glass.

On Optimize WE, Lindsay O’Neill-O’Keefe welcomes Jessa Frances, a trauma-informed yoga teacher and alcohol-free advocate, and Philip Gladman, a biohacker and wellness explorer. They discuss how alcohol intersects with wellness, identity, and human connection. Philip shares perspectives from the biohacking world, where alcohol can be viewed as both a social lubricant and a health liability, while the conversation also considers navigating trauma and developing a more conscious relationship with alcohol.

“We have to recognize our relationship with, you know, what it is we're consuming and why. So we want to feel something but you know not practice escapism. Right. So the anxious avoidance of everything that is feels ucky or even minutely painful.”
