The Functional Cantina

This is a personal podcast about alcohol, family, and choosing a different path. I'm Kandice, founder of Kava Cantina - Booze Free Bottle Shop and Taproom, and I'm sharing my story and how alcohol has impacted my life, my family, and my perspective over time. A life changing accident from my husband's past planted the seed that eventually led me to question alcohol culture and explore safer alternatives. This podcast isn't about judgment or labels. It's about harm reduction, awareness, and honest conversations we don't have often enough. I'm new to podcasting and learning as I go, but my goal is to keep this space open for a long time — for growth, reflection, and real talk about drinking less, living clearer, and finding better ways to cope.
