Finding Your Sober Curiosity Sweet Spot with Amanda Kuda
The simple admission that you are stuck or that you are on the wrong path is what is going to take you to your next level of potential.
Ever feel like you're stuck in a loop, unsure if sobriety is the right path for you? Amanda Kuda's latest episode on 'Unbottled Potential' might just be what you need. Amanda, an alcohol-free lifestyle expert, breaks down the journey of sober curiosity into two main phases: the 'lurking phase' and the 'actualizing phase'. In the 'lurking phase', people often gather information and think about sobriety without taking any concrete steps.
It's like window shopping for a new life but never stepping inside the store. Amanda explains that many get caught in this phase due to the placebo effect, where they feel a sense of progress just by learning more, but don't actually make any changes. She encourages listeners to move into the 'actualizing phase', where real transformation happens. This involves setting achievable goals, like committing to 90 days without alcohol, and taking actionable steps toward those goals.
Drawing from her own experiences, Amanda talks about how facing uncomfortable feelings and recognizing patterns of being stuck are crucial for growth. She emphasizes the importance of having a supportive partner or coach to guide you through this journey. It's not just about giving up alcohol; it's about finding your passion and purpose in life. This episode is perfect for anyone who is curious about sobriety but hasn't yet taken the plunge.
Amanda's insights offer a roadmap for moving from contemplation to action, helping you unlock your true potential and live a more fulfilling life.
