Susan, our incredible guest and This Naked Mind certified coach, bravely opens up about her transition from stress-induced drinking to a vibrant alcohol-free existence, offering an intimate look at the liberation that comes with breaking free from the bottle. Through her narrative, Susan paints a vivid picture of her past - from her acting days to touring Australia - and how she came to the profound realization that even moderate drinking was dimming her sparkle.Our conversation traverses the challenging terrain of maintaining sobriety amidst the demands of a high-achieving life. Susan candidly discusses her own struggles with alcohol as she juggled a career, academic pursuits, and family responsibilities, revealing how she confronted the illusion of alcohol as a support system. Her journey, dotted with setbacks and self-imposed rules, ultimately led her to embrace programs like Sober Sis, marking a courageous step towards change and highlighting the importance of self-awareness and a strong support network in overcoming the reliance on alcohol.In this episode, listeners will be inspired by the joys and empowerment that an alcohol-free life can bring, as demonstrated by Susan's own surge of energy, creativity, and authenticity. She debunks the myth that alcohol serves as a muse for creativity and shares how pausing from alcohol can lead to 'want power' rather than willpower, crafting a compelling future vision minus the crutch of alcohol. Join us for a heartfelt and empowering discussion that not only sheds light on the alcohol-free journey but also extends a hand to those curious about embarking on this transformative path.Susan's website: https://www.susanlarkincoaching.com/Podcast: Feel Lit Alcohol FreeMEGWeb: https://www.meganwebb.com.au/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/meganwebbcoaching/ Unwined Bookclub: https://www.alcoholfreedom.com.au/unwinedbookclub ConnectAF group coaching: https://www.elizaparkinson.com/groupcoaching BELLAWeb: https://isabellaferguson.com.auInsta: @alcoholcounsellorisabellaBi-Yearly 6-Week Small Group Challenges: Learn more: https://www.isabellaferguson.com.au/feb-2025-challengeFree Do I Have A Drinking Problem 3 x Video Series: https://resources.isabellaferguson.com.au/offers/JTFFgjJL/checkoutFree HOW DO I STOP DRINKING SO MUCH Masterclass: https://resources.isabellaferguson.com.au/offers/7fvkb3FF/checkoutOnline Alcohol Self-Paced Course: https://resources.isabellaferguson.com.au/offers/fDzcyvWL/checkout...
