Speaking Up For Alcohol Free Workplaces Is Supportive w/Janet Hadley

Does your employer know you are sober?Janet struggled in the beginning of sobriety because she didn’t know there was a whole world of sober people out there who could help her.She had to decouple her identity from the drinker and party girl and work out who she was in long-term sobriety. Janet shared how she has found so many things including cold plunging to get the dopamine hit that she was seeking from alcohol. It was astounding to her how people in the wellness space talk about being healthy and yet they serve alcohol at all of their events. If more people understood what alcohol was doing to them they could have a better life. Janet managed to influence the policies at her workplace to be more supportive of people with substance use disorders. She helped create a space where people felt more comfortable asking for help. In her work, she highlights how we have destigmatized other issues throughout history so this concept isn’t new.  She wants the policies to always give the employees the support and help they need with less of a punitive stance. She encourages all of us to take these concepts to our employees and advocate for changes that create more support. Founder of Choose Sunrise, Janet is on a mission to help employers attract and retain top talent by creating an Alcohol Safe Workplace®...without killing the buzz!https://choosesunrise.co.uk https://www.linkedin.com/in/janet-hadley/ https://www.instagram.com/choose_sunrise/ https://www.youtube.com/@soberbusinessnetwork Support the showDon’t forget to subscribe, rate & share this episode with a sober woman or someone suffering from anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep problems and negative thought patterns who needs to hear she is not alone. Oh, and by the way, if you didn’t know, my remote Neurofeedback Therapy program is up and running.
