Sip and Shop! The New Wine Aisle | Ep. 1126 mars 202600:47:08

In Happy AF’s first on-location episode, Maxine and Isabelle head to the unique and wonderful Dorset Union Store to chat with the store’s wine buyer and explore how the beverage world is evolving, FAST. What does a modern wine buyer see shifting in the industry? Are people drinking less? Differently? What’s selling now? Together, they taste and don’t have to spit! But they may have to because they are VERY honest about what they like and what they dislike! Just like alcoholic beverages, Maxine and Isabelle don’t always agree on what tastes good! From Main Street Vermont to global trends, they explore how shopping for wine and beverages looks very different than it did even five years ago.

The modern drink aisle isn’t just about alcohol anymore; it’s about intention and CHOICE!

Redefining celebration, one stereotype at a time.12 mars 202601:01:03

Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, when everyone’s suddenly Irish and green beer flows, Maxine and Isabelle ask the question: Who decided what our passports drink? From Irish pints to French wine, national identity and alcohol have been tightly linked. But where did those stereotypes begin? And the women have been travelling; Maxine does a pretty spot on impersonation of her drunk fellow passenger on flight to Palm Beach and Isabelle talks about overreaching corkage fees in NYC! They’ve got opinions, and they’ll make you laugh!

"Just One"...And Other Lies | EP926 févr. 202601:03:27

Alcohol comes with a lot of stories, the ones society tells us, the ones Big Alcohol sells us, and the ones we tell ourselves to keep everything feeling “normal.” In this episode, Maxine and Isabelle call out the biggest lies around drinking, and the universal habit of lying to your doctor!

With sharp humor and zero judgment, they laugh through self-soothing narratives that kept alcohol in place in their loves for years! Edgy, funny, and TOTALLY relatable.

With humor, clarity, and zero judgment, this episode reflects on the alcohol era of love. They taste a VERY sexy AF champagne and Maxine tells us about an EPIC walk of shame! Not to be missed!

You Asked, We Answered! | EP729 janv. 202601:15:57

In this episode, we’re answering the questions you’ve been asking us most about our alcohol-free lives — honestly, openly, and without pretending we have it all figured out.
 
We talk about why we chose to stop drinking, the hardest moments in the early days, and how our relationships and friendships shifted along the way — who surprised us, who stayed, and what we had to let go of. We also dive into what socializing looks like now, how we navigate dinners, parties, and how living alcohol-free has impacted our closest relationships in ways we didn’t fully expect.
 
As always, the conversation is real, personal, funny, and rooted in connection. 
 
If you’re sober curious, newly alcohol-free, or simply wondering what life can look like on the other side, this episode is for you.

Resolutions vs. Reality! (EP6)15 janv. 202601:05:51

In this episode, Maxine and Isabelle chat about their New Year’s resolutions (or lack of), why we so often fail, and how alcohol quietly undermines all of our best intentions. Reflecting on more than a year alcohol-free, they share how their energy, clarity, confidence, and emotional steadiness have truly changed and why they no longer believe in rigid resolutions. They look back with hilarity on a few other bad habits, from smoking, dumpster diving, and binge eating peanut M&M’s! You don’t want to miss this one. As usual, laugh-out-loud funny!

Another laugh out loud episiode, these women are living proof that you can sparkle and be the life of the party without a drop of booze!

HAPPY AF | Episode 3 | THE ONLY THING LIT IT THE TREE!

Maxine and Isabelle unwrap the truth about holiday parties, the sparkle, the pressure, and how we get from “just one” to “ah! Fuck it!” This week, they’re tackling how to stay festive and fun, when everyone else is reaching for a refill.

Family Time oh! F***!20 nov. 202500:48:45

Happy AF - Episode 2: Family Time… Oh F***!

Heading into the holidays…BREATHE!
In this hilarious and honest episode, Maxine and Isabelle dive into the beautiful chaos of Thanksgiving, family dynamics, funerals, bachelorette parties, and all the emotional landmines that used to send them straight to a drink.
From mispronounced words to side-splittingly funny cultural misunderstandings, this episode is full of laughs, but also a real reminder for anyone trying to stay grounded (and alcohol-free) during the season of “togetherness” that if you drink to solve a problem, you end up with two problems!
This one’s for anyone who’s ever walked into a family gathering thinking… oh f**.*

Funny. Free. Happy as F***!  In this debut episode of Happy AF, hosts Maxine Linehan and Isabelle Laurier share how one crazy challenge and one very real conversation sparked a zero-proof journey neither of them ever expected. From quitting alcohol to finding freedom, laughter, and clarity, they flip the script on what it means to live alcohol-free. Sober and Somber? No Way! Happy AF is honest, hilarious, and unapologetic. This is the story of how it all started and how  they discovered living alcohol free is far from what society tells us: it’s not dull or restrictive, and they’re not “sober.” They are empowered, free, and funny as f***!
