YOU, BOO. Ep 7! Being sober in drunk places, and how staying true to yourself is the top shelf high.

Hey Boo! Thank you for being here, at YOU, BOO. Podcast, where we explore what it means to KNOW, LOVE, AND LEAD YOURSELF. As I was heading into the weekend, I felt inspired to share some premium hacks for how I managed to get, and continue to stay alcohol free, after a half lifetime, of drinking in excess. And, please know my friends, this space is judgement free, with sparkling clean energy of empathy, compassion, and open arms to welcome you, exactly as you are. I don't think being sober, is BETTER, let me make that clear, before you even dive in! I think it's better for some people, for some portions of their life, including me, right now. I come from a alcohol enthusiast background, rich with many stories that included many drinks, and sometimes drugs, and so don't worry, I'm not a square who's made it my public service to shame people who like to party. I am here to advocate for the rebellion of authenticity, and the magic that happens when you are true to yourself. Doing whatever it is that is ACTUALLY right for you, no matter what anyone else, says, thinks, fears, assumes, or judges about it. On that note, when I listened back to the episode, something stood out to me that I want to add context around - my top 3 things gratitude list - just so you all know, the things that I mentioned, are not meant to outshine, the giant list of other humans, situations and things that I am eternally grateful for. MOM, DAD, BROTHER, ETC, the list is long. So, please, no one be offended me mentioning my cats in my top three mkay? Please know, this cat lady loves you! I LOVE YOU. I AM SO BEYOND GRATEFUL FOR YOU! This year I turned 40, and I am in the chapter where I'm on a mission to pursue my life's most purposeful dreams, and getting, and staying alcohol free has been one of the most empowering, blissful, and badass experiences I've had yet. In this episode, I share conceptual and practical tools to support you, in your relationship to anything you consume, whether it's booze, or food, or drugs. I hope you find this supportive. If it sparked your inspiration, your motivation, or your belief in yourself, please do help a sister out, and share the love! Rate, Save, Share, and/or send to a friend! Thank you for the support.
