Alcohol is not what makes you interesting. It never has been and it never will be.  This is one of the common fears of women who want to quit drinking. But the truth is, alcohol is actually dulling your shine, draining your energy, and keeping you from being the version of you who has real, grounded confidence. Are you afraid that it's the wine that scores you invitations to nights out with friends? Are you worried that you will be too reserved without a cocktail in hand? Listen to this episode if you are ready to find a path towards an alcohol-free life that actually works for you. Feeling good AF? Now that's what makes you interesting. Resources From This EpisodeThis week's assignment (23:12): Part 1: Ask yourself a question. Where have I been giving alcohol credit for something that's actually mine? For example: Your confidence, your humor, your sophistication, your ability to connect. Part 2: Take Action: What would it look like to practice doing one of those things without the prop? For example: Going to dinner and you order a mocktail and you leave when you want to. You don't leave when everyone else leaves. Or - You show up to one social event without trying to manage anyone else's expectations.Support the showHere's how you can stay connected: 🗓️ Schedule a 30-minute Discovery Call👩‍💻 Sign-up for Feel Good AF Coaching📱Follow along on Instagram📰 Subscribe to the Feel Good AF newsletterAnd remember, Lindsay is a sober coach, not a health professional.

In this week's episode, Lindsay lays it all out there: if you want to quit drinking, then get comfortable being uncomfortable. Your ability to change is directly tied to your willingness to be uncomfortable -  because nothing great happens when we stay in the comfort zone. It's in the moments when you let yourself sit in the real, awkward (and sometimes really awkward) discomfort, that you are making progress. Whether it's stumbling through conversations at your first alcohol-free work outing, or over-sharing to your Grandmother about why you aren't drinking at this year's Thanksgiving dinner, know that not only can you handle it, but you are building confidence as you do it. Links + Resources:Now is the time to get ahead of your New Year Resolutions 🎉 - with a very special end of year bonus! 👉 https://www.lindsayhennekey.com/endofyear Here is this week's assignment: Take a look at your calendar for the next week and pick an upcoming event where you would normally drink, but in this case you aren't.
