Ep. #167 Finding Freedom in Unexpected Places (with a Bottle of Tequila)
Focusing on becoming the solution vs. fixing the problem is the real shift in perspective. It can only happen when you 'put yourself in the room.'
Ever thought a bottle of tequila could lead to emotional freedom? In this eye-opening episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', Mary Wagstaff shares her personal journey to discovering her potential in the most unexpected of places. On her way to the Goddess Yoga Arts Retreat, Mary had a bottle of tequila in her bag, but what she found was a new perspective on life.
Instead of focusing on 'fixing' the problem of drinking, Mary talks about becoming the solution by placing yourself in new environments. She believes that emotional freedom from alcohol is possible when you challenge your conditioned beliefs and embrace new experiences. Mary introduces the idea of 'spiritual triggers' – positive influences like coaching, sister circles, and yoga – that can shift your mindset from negativity to possibility.
By intentionally creating these new circumstances, you can awaken parts of yourself you never knew existed. This episode is all about building evidence against the thought that life without alcohol is dull and unfulfilling. Mary’s insights show that with the right support and perspective, you can find joy and freedom beyond the bottle. Tune in to learn how to use your curiosity and creativity to transform your relationship with alcohol.
