When we see it through that lens, the whole conversation changes. In this episode, I talk with therapeutic consultant Joanna Lilly about what’s really driving early drinking — identity, belonging, and pressure to fit in. We talk about how experimentation can start early, what signs can signal something more serious, and why giving young people realistic options, like a simple 90-day pause, can open the door to change. If you’re a parent or someone who cares about a teen or young adult, this conversation will help you see the world through their eyes.\nWant to drink less with no pressure to quit?
