podcast· 21:14Why you should quit when your up
One of the most surprising and empowering truths in the alcohol-free journey: The best time to change your relationship with alcohol is when you’re already feeling good. If that sounds counterintuitive, you’re not alone. Most of us only commit to change when we’ve hit a low—after a fight, a blackout, a painful moment of regret. But what if that’s why it hasn’t stuck? Inside this episode: Why feeling good can be the most powerful time to quit drinking How your brain tricks you into thinking it’s “not that bad” Why waiting for a rock-bottom moment often backfires How to leverage joy, momentum, and natural alignment for lasting change What it means to build a life you don’t need to escape from Why “just feeling better” isn’t a reason to stop doing the work How I use dance, connection, and embodiment as part of my own alcohol-free lifestyle You’ll also hear about my first-ever ecstatic dance DJ gig (dreams do come true!), and the kind of weekend that reminds me why I keep choosing this pat

"Finding the Rarest Flower" with K. J. Aiello
K.J. Aiello is a Canadian who describes herself as a mentally ill writer. It is, she says, who she is. K.J. discusses her fabulous new book, "The Monster and The Mirror." It's a unique blend of memoir, research, and cultural criticism in which K.J. tries to understand her own mental illness using "The Lord of the Rings," "Game of Thrones," and other stories as guides to heroism and agency as well as cautionary tales of how mental illness is easily stereotyped as bad and violent. K.J. and her work can be accessed at https://www.kjaiello.ca/ The views and opinions of the guests on this podcast are theirs and theirs alone and do not necessarily represent those of the host, Westwords Consulting or the Kenosha County Substance Abuse Coalition.

podcast· 10:47· S7E30The Greatest Chardonnay Showdown TEASER
SUBSCRIBER BONUS TASTER : 27 wines - 18 top tasters - an epic blind tasting featuring just one grape: Chardonnay. From all around the world - Grand Cru Burgundy to vintage champagne via Western Australia, Sonoma County and even Japan. Who would be the big winners? And, more importantly, why?! That's what we're getting into in this intriguing subscriber-only bonus episode on The Greatest Chardonnay Showdown blind tasting at the London Wine Fair 2026. We were both privileged to be part of the stellar judging panel - so what were our considered thoughts, did we agree with the overall results...and did we even agree with each other?! Seasoned listeners may already have an instinct where this one is heading...suffice it to say there are opinions aplenty, some consensus but also a fair amount of healthy disagreement. Ultimately, hopefully, it all makes for an informative and thought-provoking episode about one of our (and the world's) favourite grape varieties. NB : This is a short taster of

video🍷 Wine Wednesday - Mouton Rothschild 2020 🍇
Every Wednesday we open a bottle together and explore what’s happening across our world of wine, technology, and community. Sometimes it’s a product launch, sometimes a special guest, and sometimes just a chance to slow down and talk great wine. Last week we focused on Château Mouton Rothschild 2020 — Pauillac Premier Grand Cru Classé. One of Bordeaux’s five legendary First Growths, Mouton Rothschild needs little introduction. The 2020 vintage stands among the most celebrated of recent Bordeaux releases, earning two perfect 100-point scores and three 99-point ratings. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate described it as “a striking wine… layered, refined, and beautifully balanced.” Built to age for decades yet already remarkably expressive, this is a First Growth that rewards patience but can also be enjoyed sooner than many expect. During the livestream we discussed: • Why Mouton continues to define Pauillac • What makes the 2020 vintage exceptional • Why provenance matters at the Firs

Ep 173 The Highlands District: Featuring Willow Creek Wine Co. | French Camp Vineyard
🍇 WHERE WINE TAKES YOU – EPISODE 173: THE HIGHLANDS DISTRICT 🍷 Everybody knows Willow Creek. Everybody knows Adelaida. But venture east into Paso Robles and you’ll find one of the region’s most fascinating, and least understood, wine-growing areas: the Highlands District . In this episode of Where Wine Takes You, Adam sits down with two people uniquely positioned to tell the story of Paso’s highest-elevation sub-AVA. Natalie Brown , owner and winemaker of Rococo Wines and Willow Creek Wine Co., shares her passion for old-vine Chenin Blanc and the remarkable Highlands District vineyard that continues to produce some of California’s most distinctive expressions of the grape.

Joining her is Nicholas Miller , fifth-generation California farmer and Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Miller Family Wine Company . Nicholas helps steward the leg
