Mike Shennan joins us to share his remarkable journey to sobriety and how it has laid the foundation for his fulfilling career in coaching. From growing up in a family culture where drinking was routine to facing the challenges of social drinking during his university years in Canada, Mike offers a raw and insightful look into his personal transformation. As he transitioned into marriage and parenthood, his commitment to being a present father starkly contrasted his own father's absence, inspiring a shift towards sobriety and emotional growth.Listeners will uncover the profound shifts that come with overcoming alcohol dependence. Mike and I discuss how influential works like Annie Grace's "This Naked Mind" and Belle Robertson's "Tired of Thinking About Drinking" helped us transition from a willpower-centric approach to one focused on emotional change. Mike also discusses men who choose sobriety, and the strength it shows when these men do the work and make this momentous change! The episode wraps up with an exploration of reclaiming power through self-awareness and energy management. We delve into the transformative power of silence and inner peace, reflecting on how mastering self-coaching can lead to personal growth. Mike shares his passion for meaningful coaching conversations and how they open doors to personal empowerment.
