What Are You Thirsty For? Rethinking Drinking with Anna Donaghey / EP 105

What if alcohol isn’t the problem… but the placeholder?In this episode of Sober & Lit, Ruby and Susan are joined by Anna Donaghey—certified alcohol mindset and life coach, award-winning podcast host, and author of What Are You Thirsty For?—for a conversation that goes way deeper than drinking less. Anna shares her journey from teenage drinking and a booze-soaked career in advertising to a life of clarity, purpose, and alcohol-free freedom—and the moment she realized alcohol was doing jobs it was never meant to do.Together, they explore powerful questions like: ✔️ What are you actually thirsting for? ✔️ Is your life good enough—or are you using alcohol to tolerate it? ✔️ What might be possible if you stopped numbing and started listening?  This episode unpacks the hidden roles alcohol plays, why rock bottom is not required, and how reclaiming your desires can radically change your life.Whether you’re sober curious, newly alcohol-free, or reimagining midlife on your own terms, this conversation will challenge you, inspire you, and invite you to want more—from yourself and your life. Less numbing. More truth. More lit—without the booze. ________Guest Resources for Anna Donaghey: Website: https://www.thebigdrinkrethink.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bigdrinkrethinkFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thebigdrinkrethink/Order the book on Amazon What Are You Thirsty For?We Love Hearing From YouDon't forget to follow and subscribe and leave a review!
