26. Soul-Led Sobriety with Lucy Quick

Lucy Quick is a life and sobriety coach, committed to empowering women through examining their relationships with alcohol and overdrinking. Lucy is the co-founder of Thrivalist Sobriety, and dedicates her days to helping sober-curious women all around the world build deep and loving connections with themselves. This eye-opening, judgment-free episode really prompted us to reflect on our own relationships with alcohol, conscious consumption, and reminded us of the power of self-awareness. We spoke with Lucy about: – The Thrivalist Sobriety story, and Lucy’s own journey to sobriety – How Lucy came to realise that her relationship with alcohol consumption was unhealthy – Self-worth, and how sobriety can support the progression from self-loathing to self-love – Alcohol consumption and escapism – how and why humans like to avoid difficult emotions, and how alcohol impacts the brain to temporarily ‘numb’ us – The tools Lucy used to create new healthy habits, reset her dopamine reward system, and navigate cravings and triggers – The benefits of sobriety for mental health, how alcohol works as a depressant, and Lucy’s own personal experience – Why Lucy feels it’s important not to shame ‘normal’ alcohol drinkers – How it is possible to rewire our brains around drinking habits – Getting clear on your ‘why’, and tapping into your soul purpose – Why feelings work so potently as motivators – Lucy’s thoughts on the sobriety movement and on drinking culture – Why nervous system regulation is so important for a healthy relationship with alcohol Mentioned in the episode: ‘Sober Curious’, by Ruby Warrington: http://www.rubywarrington.com/books/sober-curious/ How to work with Lucy + Thrivalist: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thrivalistsobriety https://thrivalistsobriety.com/ The Thrivalist Signature Sobriety Course: https://www.thrivalistsobriety.com/signature-sobriety-course/
