Ep171 Saying “NO” to alcohol and rice: the power of everyday choices
Mar 24, 2026
Season 17
Episode 9
Angella Fraser & Leslie Osei-Tutu
You know that one thing you swear you could never give up? The nightly glass of wine, the “double rice,” the burger that used to hit just right. We get honest about what happens when your body starts telling the truth and you finally listen.
The Besties start this episode with Leslie’s Dry January, not as a trendy detox, but as a real test of discipline. Then the twist hits: when she goes back to drinking, it doesn’t even feel good. That opens the door to a bigger conversation about why willpower gets easier when you realize you’re not actually enjoying the habit anymore.
Their joy journey gets practical as they connect discipline, aging and overall health to the everyday choices that make our bodies feel lighter and our minds feel clearer.
