POV: It’s the Summer of 2026 and you’re actually... present.

I’m calling it now: This is the Analog Summer.

We’re trading the infinite scroll for deep soul. We’re trading the "sip and black out" culture for clarity and genuine connection.

For a long time, I thought "socializing" meant a cocktail in one hand and my phone in the other. I was physically there, but mentally? I was miles away, chasing likes or buffering a buzz.

Not this year.

This is the summer of betting on ourselves. We’re choosing:

🦈 Real eye contact over "Double Taps."
🦈 Refreshing mocktails over regretful hangovers.
🦈 Meaningful conversations over mindless DMs.
🦈 Deep presence over digital performance.

The world wants you distracted. I want you hydrated, clear-headed, and completely dialed into the life you’re actually living.

The mess is still there, but at least we’re awake to navigate it.

Are you ready to trade the screen for the scene?

Drop a 🍋 if you’re going Analog with me this summer.

We’re just getting started.

POV: You finally stopped trading your mornings for mid hospitality. 🦈

Being a “good host” used to mean a heavy pour and a hazy Sunday.
Not anymore.

I’m betting on the ritual, not the regret.
This is how you host the summer vibe everyone actually remembers.

My 2026 rotation:
✨ Amethyst. Sophisticated botanical magic.
🥃 Free Spirits. The classic cocktail bite, zero noise.
🍄 Little Saints. Mood-shifting adaptogens for the Messies.

You don’t have to disappear socially to evolve personally.
Elevate the menu. Outwork the old version of you.

Drop a 🍋 if you’re done with the morning regret.

Believing in the law of attraction is key, but what happens when you don't get the job? Numbing the pain was a defense mechanism. Now, two years sober, I'm meeting others on a similar path, sharing those 'aha' moments.

Getting arrested at 31 felt like a wake-up call after years of being a 'perfect kid.' It forced a hard reset, leading to selling real estate and starting a podcast. What seemed like rock bottom became the catalyst for a complete 180, proving that even difficult moments can lead to incredible success and finding where you're meant to be.

The pressure to drink after a long day can be overwhelming. But when you can't even remember your night with a 6-month-old, you know something has to change. Parenting hungover is a special kind of hell.

I thought hitting rock bottom meant one big moment, but my reality was a series of lows in college. Strict upbringing met a party school, and the line blurred. Alcohol led to dangerous situations, including hospital visits and unwanted sexual activity. It's a miracle I'm here, and a reminder that recovery can be a long road with many wake-up calls.
