Imposter Syndrome: Finding Your True Self Beyond Alcohol
What if I told you that all of the things that you have tried to do to quit drinking were actually all myths- avoiding alcohol, conforming to other groups, distracting yourself, replacing all of the shame and regret, hiding out- and that it is the exact opposite?
Ever feel like you're faking it when you try to quit drinking? Mary Wagstaff dives into this all-too-common feeling in this episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living'. She challenges the notion of imposter syndrome, asking whether it's the act of not drinking that feels fake or if it's the drinking itself that's the real imposter. Mary explores how we often look outside ourselves for validation and comfort, instead of tapping into our inner resources.
She offers practical tips on how to 'fake it till you make it' in a way that aligns with your true self, without anyone else knowing. Mary also shares her personal journey and commitment to a 30-day Instagram and podcast challenge, aiming to inspire women everywhere who have been handed alcohol as a coping tool.
With her usual blend of empathy and insight, Mary encourages listeners to examine their own thoughts and beliefs, and to find personalized support on their journey to sobriety. Tune in to discover how you can overcome imposter syndrome and step into the life you truly deserve.
