Exploring Sexuality and Alcohol-Free Dating with Shea Gomez (No Booze Babes Founder)
4/21/202647 min
Shea Gomez has built a community helping women rethink their relationship with alcohol. She joins Carl to talk about her journey from blacking out at open bars to building No Booze Babes - and how getting sober opened the door to a life she never saw coming. She joins Carl to get honest about the gray area drinking that consumed her early 20s - the blackouts, the bartenders she made out with, the conversations she couldn't remember with the people she loved. And what happened when she finally stopped: she had to face everything she'd been numbing, including feelings about her sexuality she hadn't let herself sit with sober. She shares what it was like to start dating sober, explore her attraction to women for the first time, and navigate the confusion, fear, and freedom that came with it. They also talk about people-pleasing, shame, and why learning to trust yourself is hard work. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

So I have a question for you guys. When was the last time you upgraded your mattress? Yes, I'm asking you because I love to sleep, and currently, I love my Birch mattress. I got my Birch about a month ago, and honestly, guys, the sleep I'm getting has been amazing. The Birch mattresses are stylish, they're comfortable, and most importantly, they're crafted with responsibly sourced materials. And the best part is they're shipped directly from their facility to your door for free. The mattress comes rolled up in a box and is super easy to set up. There's no better way to test a new Birch mattress than by sleeping on it in your own home. That's why Birch offers a 120-night risk-free trial to see how your body adjusts. I want all my listeners to enjoy a deep, restful night's sleep with a new mattress from Birch. Go to birchliving.com/radke for 27% off sitewide for Memorial Day sale.
