Hey, everybody, it's Marielle.
Happy almost New Year.
In this moment, right on the cusp of a new year, a lot of us have started looking at our credit card bills and our bank statements and thinking, oh, boy, I need to get my finances in order.
And there are lots of ways to go about that.
On this episode of Life Kit, I'm going to share wisdom from experts we've interviewed over the years, specifically on financial habits to leave behind in 2020.
Together, we are going to start this new year off right.
Hey, quick question.
How are your holidays?
Did you have a good time?
Maybe too good of a time?
It's normal to have a couple extra drinks around the holidays, but maybe you're thinking it's time to take a break.
Maybe you've woken up hungover or anxious or felt more irritable or sluggish lately.
Whatever your reason for wanting to take a break from alcohol, it can be difficult to navigate life without it.
It's everywhere.
At work events and parties, funerals and weddings.
We use it to celebrate and to mark all kinds of transitions.
That's why Life Kit has created a special newsletter series to help you get through the month without alcohol.
We'll cover everything from how to deal with uncomfortable questions like, hey, why aren't you drinking?
To some tasty alcohol free drinks you can make at home.
