Breaking Generational Ties: Living Proud AF with Justin Morris

My guest for the podcast this week is Justin Morris, licensed therapist and This Naked Mind Coach. Justin shares his personal story of growing up where alcohol was modeled as a 'normal' part of adult life and yet he also watched alcohol erode his parent's marriage and create health issues for his grandfather. Justin found himself struggling with drinking in his late teens when he came out as queer at 17.  Heading off to college, Justin used alcohol as a sober 'buffer' to blend in and remain 'unseen'. This drinking pattern continued into a high stress job as a social worker. Justin broke up with alcohol in September of 2020 and now helps others to break through to freedom. Justin also invites us to explore a new coaching collective, 'Living Proud AF'. This collective is an offering from several This Naked Mind Coaches who identify as LGBTQIA++. Their motto is: Empowering LGBTQIA++ people to take control of alcohol and start . . . Living Proud AF ! Full Show Notes HERE
