A 17 year old completely destroyed me at a party recently.I told him I hadn’t had a drink for 12 years and he hit me with: “That’s really boring.”Then came the knockout punch: “I bet you’re fun at parties.”Honestly, it made me laugh.But once the dust settled, it got me thinking about just how deeply ingrained our cultural beliefs around alcohol really are. Before he’s even legally allowed to drink, he already believes alcohol equals fun and not drinking equals boring.So in this episode, I decided to properly challenge that idea once and for all.And spoiler alert… I think we’ve got this whole thing completely backwards.What you’ll learn:Why society teaches us that alcohol equals fun from a very young ageThe “bore-off” exercise that completely reframes drinkingHow alcohol quietly creates many of the things we find boring in lifeWhy alcohol-free living creates more energy, joy, confidence, and connectionHow to challenge the beliefs that keep you stuck in the drinking cycleTimestamps:00:00 – 03:00 Graduations, retreats, documentaries, and a huge week ahead03:00 – 05:00 The 17 year old who called me boring05:00 – 08:00 The “bore-off” and redefining what boring really means08:00 – 11:00 Why alcohol creates the very problems it pretends to solve11:00 – End Why alcohol-free living is actually the most exciting adventure of allIf you want to go deeper and actually learn how to rewire your thinking, come and join me at Coach Business School (https://coachbusiness.school/).If you’re curious about becoming a coach, I run a free live workshop where I’ll show you how this all works and how you can turn it into something meaningful and purposeful.
