Tipsy Tricks
Because no one should become a news story!
I’m offering these stories and the interactive e-course for free because I’m tired of seeing people become news stories after nights that should have been fun.

People deserve practical tools for thinking about impairment, consent,
and looking out for themselves and their friends.

Imagine your friend just had their wisdom teeth removed.
They’re sitting in the recovery chair, still loopy from anesthesia. Their words are slow. Their thinking is foggy. They’re laughing at things that don’t make sense.
In this moment, you would not ask them to agree to something important. Because you know they aren’t thinking clearly. You’d wait.
Alcohol and other substances can create a similar kind of fog, one that affects someone’s ability to choose.
Tipsy Tricks explores what can happen with consent when that fog enters the picture – and what it means to choose a sober yes* over a convenient one.
Because sometimes the strongest move in the room is knowing when to wait.
Respect doesn’t rush. It waits.
* A sober yes means someone is thinking clearly, fully aware of what’s happening, and able to make a free choice without being drunk, high, or pressured.
