I thought, if I write a book for people who were sitting in the seat that I was sitting in, then that's an avenue for someone to find sobriety, as is what you guys are doing, as is what hello Sunday morning does, as you know, like there's so many really amazing platforms and communities and tribes now that are sharing this message of sobriety, and that's that is so cool.
Maz Compton's life has been anything but ordinary. Starting out as an MTV VJ, she rubbed shoulders with the likes of Lady Gaga and Kanye West, and later moved into radio, earning accolades like Cosmopolitan's Woman of the Year. But behind the glitz and glamour, Maz faced a growing struggle with alcohol.
In this episode of 'After Alcohol', Maz sits down with hosts Leisa Leon and Leanne Franks to share her transformative journey to sobriety and how it sparked a social rebellion against drinking culture in Australia. Maz opens up about the moment she began to question her relationship with alcohol. What started as a personal challenge to go alcohol-free for a short period turned into a five-year journey that reshaped her career and life.
Now a health and wellness advocate, Maz speaks passionately about the need for a cultural shift in how we view alcohol. Listeners will hear Maz discuss the destructive impact of alcohol on mental health, especially in high-pressure jobs like hers. She shares how journaling and self-reflection became her tools for navigating this challenging path. Maz also touches on the role of government in educating people about the dangers of alcohol and the importance of building supportive sober communities.
Maz's story is both inspiring and thought-provoking. She emphasizes the power of self-reflection and finding a deeper purpose, offering hope to anyone reconsidering their relationship with alcohol. With humor and heartfelt honesty, Maz and the hosts explore the benefits of sobriety and the importance of community support in this journey. Tune in to hear Maz's compelling story and join the conversation about redefining our drinking culture.
