Behind the Blonde

What happens after you quit drinking—but the noise in your mind doesn’t stop? In this episode of Behind The Blonde , Kirby Myers shares a deeply personal reflection on life three and a half years into sobriety —when alcohol was no longer the problem, yet anxiety, overthinking, and nervous system overwhelm were still running the show. After removing alcohol and other unhealthy coping mechanisms, Ki...

What happens after you quit drinking — when the dust settles and real life begins? In this solo episode of Behind the Blonde, Kirby Myers reflects on an essay she wrote when she was one year alcohol-free, now viewed through the lens of nearly five years of sobriety. What started as a question — can life actually be fun without alcohol? — has turned into a lived truth she never imagined possible. K...

Have you ever done the right thing—and paid for it socially? In this episode of Behind The Blonde, I share a moment from high school that shaped the way I move through the world: standing up for someone who couldn’t stand up for themselves, and losing an entire friend group because of it. Back then, I carried fear and insecurity. Now, I carry conviction. This episode is about the power of choosing...

The world feels heavy right now — and many of us are carrying that weight quietly while still showing up for our lives, our relationships, and the people who depend on us. In this episode of Behind The Blonde, I speak honestly about what it means to stay human in overwhelming times. About empathy, moral responsibility, emotional weight, and the quiet ways we try to move through the day when everyt...

In this episode of Behind the Blonde, Kirby is joined once again by her husband, Britt, for a raw, honest, and deeply intimate conversation about sex, connection, and what it really takes to sustain desire in a long-term relationship. Following last week’s theme of intention and information, this episode goes between the sheets — unpacking why friendship may be the foundation of a relationship, bu...

This episode talks about using our “hiccups” as personal data instead of evidence we failed. It’s about discomfort without shame. It’s about choosing clarity again- not perfectly but honestly.  Almost 5 years ago I gave up alcohol and nicotine. What I didn’t realize for a long time was that I had quietly anchored myself to marijuana. I told myself it was helping me relax, helping me unwind. Until...

Lately, I’ve been feeling a little off—getting sick, struggling to find my rhythm again, and carrying that familiar mom guilt of not having enough energy for everyone during the busiest season of the year. This episode is for anyone who’s ever found themselves in the opposite place of where they want to be… because right now, that’s exactly where I am. We talk about the icky in-between space of li...

Breathe Baby, Breathe — In this powerful and deeply feminine episode, I’m joined by my dear friend, spiritual advisor, and yoga/quantum healing guide, Jolie Wilson. Together, we explore what it means to truly live in our feminine energy — to slow down, soften, and come back home to our bodies. We dive into the foundation of it all : the breath . How it influences our nervous system, our sexuality,...

In this episode of Behind the Blonde, we’re getting real about female pleasure — the kind we’ve been taught to minimize, whisper about, or ignore altogether. The truth? Only 15–20% of women orgasm from penetration alone, yet so many of us wonder if it's our fault or silently stay unsatisfied for something that is purely human physiology. This is your permission slip to expect pleasure, not hope fo...

In this raw and revealing conversation, I sit down with my husband to unpack what really happens when one partner removes alcohol from their life—and the other isn’t quite ready to follow. We met as heavy drinkers with a big social life, but sobriety shifted the ground beneath our relationship in every possible way. Together, we talk openly about the fights, the misunderstandings, the ego, and the...

Healing can be so f*cking uncomfortable. But finding your freedom is magical. Kirby chronicles the choices that ultimately led to the version of herself she's no longer ashamed of. The version that's no longer riddled with anxiety or sadness or dependency- on unhealthy relationships and substances. She shares intimate details of leaving a marriage with small children, finding her soulmate, going t...

Kirby reflects on her alcohol addiction as she nears 5 years of sobriety. She takes you through her late teens to her mid 30’s as she recalls memories that started out seemingly fun and escalated into desperation - the knowing of her inability to ever moderate becoming an adult anguish she needed to rectify. Relatable, funny and raw, the knowing represents that inner voice that never lies- no matt...
