New Wayz Podcast
The mental health and wellness podcast that’s as real as it gets — with a little humor and a lot of heart. I’m Christina Pehr, a certified life coach and registered nurse, sharing unfiltered stories, fresh perspectives, and lived experiences to help us grow, heal, and show up as our best selves. This is a no-judgment zone where we explore everything from emotional well-being to physical health, mindset shifts, and finding joy in life’s messiness. Sometimes it’s just me, sometimes guests join with their own insights. My goal? To make mental health feel approachable, relatable, and even a little fun, while giving you tools you can actually use.

Unlearning the Norms: Societal Standards, Drinking Culture, and Making Your Own Rules.
In this episode, I sit down with my friend Sid Mallya for an interesting conversation. We started with societal standards, especially around drinking culture, and why it’s treated like this default expectation. Sid shares what shifted for him when he stopped drinking, and we both reflect on how much of what we do is shaped by conditioning we never questioned.
We talk about where these “rules” even come from, why they don’t have to define you, and how learning yourself is way more important than following what everyone else is doing.
This isn’t a lecture. It’s not a guide. It’s just an honest conversation about values, identity, and remembering you actually get to choose the life you want.
If you want to rethink the “norms” you’ve outgrown or are just curious about how we see it… this one’s for you.
