Ever wondered why the idea of moderating your drinking often feels like an uphill battle? In this eye-opening episode, holistic alcohol coach Mary Wagstaff shares her reasons for launching the Stop Drinking & Start Living program. Mary argues that the narratives we hold about drinking are often what keep us stuck. She emphasizes that these beliefs are constructs of our own minds, and we have the power to reshape them.
Mary dives into the importance of updating our mental frameworks to better align with our evolving needs. She highlights that seeking mental health support, self-development, and spiritual connection isn't just for those with a 'problem' but is essential for anyone wanting to reclaim their mental space from alcohol.
