Yesterday we went to a event to rep CCC, and support our ride or die who helped us launch this community , founder of who was speaking on a panel. ♥️

We met SO many amazing female entrepreneurs including the founders (who we cannot WAIT to collab w/ someday soon! 😍) and got to hang with some of our faves including .dare and so many more! (Lauren and Sarah also spoke in a breakout session together and KILLED it!!)

We believe women supporting women, both in business and life in general, is how magic is made, so it was incredibly energizing and inspiring to be surrounded by so many incredible, intelligent female leaders & identify ways we can help each other grow.✨

Introducing CCC’s new fitness ambassador and Health & Wellness Events Chair, Maegen Becker! 🎉

Maegen has been a CCC member for almost a year, and recently celebrated her first year alcohol-free on July 27. 👏🏻🥳

You’ve likely seen us sharing stories about her on our page like a proud parent as she crushes one health & wellness goal after another since quitting drinking, including recently becoming a certified instructor. 🧘🏻‍♀️💪🏻

Maegen credits her alcohol-free life for giving her the energy, motivation and consistency for these achievements, and we absolutely cannot WAIT to see how she’ll share her gifts to help our community achieve their own health and fitness goals through the events she’ll help us host for our members! ♥️💕💛💖🤍

In June, one of our IRL members-only special events was a private tarot card party with our fave, . ✨

It was the first official CCC event for several of our new members, but we all felt like old friends after getting our readings together and chatting about our lives. 💕

We ate catering from , played with dogs (given), enjoyed all the desserts and NA drinks including a signature alcohol-free cocktail we called “The Berry Full Moon.” 🫐🌕

Our friends and sent us some of their fantastic NA beers and sent us a few botttles of their deeelish botanical NA spirits, including the blueberry/mint/ginger flavor we featured in our signature drink, combined with fresh blueberries, seltzer and a splash of simple/lime syrup. 🫐🍹

We’ve been hosting virtual tarot card parties with Mariah for years because her readings are always so spot on, so it was amazing to have a private party with her in person for the first time! 🎉

If you’re looking to spice up your social life with like-minded friends and creative alcohol-free activities without relying on alcohol to connect, become a CCC member!

We have so many more fun events like this one coming up for our members, as well as as our public events including weekly yoga on Sunday mornings at , an upcoming event with and more! 🪩

HUGE THANKS to our incredible member and her husband/our unofficial photographer and grill master, Trey, for hosting our first members pool party of the season at their GORGEOUS new home over the weekend! ☀️💃🏻🎉🏡

There were dogs in Hawaiian shirts, pool floats, lots of delish food and NA drinks (obvs), games, drink umbrellas, new friendships formed and more! 🐶🍹🏖🍔

We’ve got lots of new faces in the CCC membership and it’s been so fun getting to know the new crew who show up with fresh energy and ideas to keep us inspired and creating more alcohol-free fun in this community. 🦄

As an introvert, I’m so impressed by the women who jump head first into this community and start coming to events without knowing a soul. ✨

Showing up to an event for the first time (sober, no less!) on your own can feel so intimidating, but as our members have proven, stepping out of your comfort zone is what leads to growth, confidence and authentic friendships with new, like-minded friends. 👯‍♀️

Want in on the fun? We’ve got a packed calendar full of upcoming events for both our virtual and Charlotte members and we’d love to have you join us.

Link in bio to learn more and sign up today! And remember, you DON’T have to be alcohol-free to join, you just have to be willing to experiment with socializing alcohol-free. 🙃

P.S. if you sign up today, you can join our tarot party w/ tomorrow night!) 🌝

Oftentimes, when we change our relationship with alcohol or decide to take a break, we worry about what others will think or say to us. 🤔

Here’s the deal from someone whose been in that headspace in the past and learned after 4+ years of answering this question:

1) People don’t drink for all sorts of reasons—not drinking doesn’t mean you have a problem. 💯

2) Alcohol is a drug, bottom line. Just like you don’t have to explain why you don’t shoot up he**in, you ALSO don’t have to explain why you don’t drink ethanol (aka the same stuff we put in our cars when you strip it down). ⛽️

3) You can’t read minds, so projecting what you ::think:: someone is thinking about you and getting anxious about it isn’t helpful. 🔮

4) Not drinking is an EMPOWERING CHOICE not an embarrassment. 🎉

5) If someone has a problem with you not drinking and pushes you to have one after saying no, a) typically this means they have issues of their own with alcohol b) do you want to keep someone like that in your life anyway? Aka someone who doesn’t respect you doing what you feel is best/healthiest for you? ♥️

And finally…

6) Your decision to drink or not is just that—YOURS. It’s literally no one else’s business. You don’t owe anyone an explanation and NO is a complete sentence. 💪🏻
