Episode 16 | Guest conversation: “What’s the point of living if I can’t drink?” with Kelly Harman

Kelly Harman believed life without alcohol would be flat, dull, and joyless. The opposite happened. In this conversation, we talk about the moment she realised drinking was keeping her in survival mode, how nervous system regulation changed everything, and why waking up hangover-free has given her a life she now experiences in full colour.Kelly is the founder of Fire & Soul and works with women in midlife and high-pressure roles to support nervous system regulation, resilience, and recovery from stress and burnout. A trauma-informed breathwork facilitator and positive psychology coach, Kelly brings lived experience to her work after stepping away from drinking and rebuilding her life with clearer boundaries, steadier energy, and a more intentional way of living.Follow Kelly’s work and explore her breathwork, retreats, and wellbeing programmes here:www.fireandsoul.co.ukFollow her on IG hereFind Kelly on LinkedIn hereIf this episode resonated with you, it may be a sign that you’ve been carrying more than you realise.Each month I run a FREE live Zoom workshop for women who are beginning to recognise the emotional patterns, people-pleasing, overthinking, exhaustion and self-abandonment that may be keeping them stuck.Inside the workshop, I talk about the “cycle” many women unknowingly live in, and how to start recognising the patterns that keep you emotionally exhausted, disconnected and running on autopilot.Save your place for the next workshop here:If you’d like to explore your own patterns more deeply, you can also book a free 30-minute conversation with me. Book your complimentary conversation here:Disclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical, psychological or therapeutic advice.
