Update: I’m no longer leading Bar Crawls
I never imagined I’d hit my limit with Bar Crawls one week after posting a blog about how I lead bar crawls. Truth is, I initially wrote my blog in May, and I delayed posting about it because I felt I had more relevant things to post this past summer. Last year I got…

My trip to Cuba
I got back from Cuba over a month ago, and I’m finally posting about it. It took me a second to gather my thoughts, and my feelings, and what exactly I wanted to say. When I first got back everyone was checking in to see how my trip went. My manager, who helped get me…

“Nashville has branded itself as a Booze City”
I can now say that one of the best things I’ve done has been being vocal about quitting alcohol. For the past 11 months, unless I interacted with you in-person or at work, I didn’t bring it up. My Nashville friends have been super supportive about my decisions, but it never dawned on me to…

Top date spots- if you’re not drinking alcohol in Nashville
Back in June of 2024, I was getting ready to go out on my first date as an alcohol-free person. This was a date with someone I had matched with on a dating app. I really didn’t know how to bring up the fact that I stopped drinking- and I didn’t. My profile has always…
