I want you to stop trying to moderate your drinking. It is actually making things so much worse for you. This is the easiest time of year to drink less and to get the support that you need.
Ever felt like you're living a double life, hiding behind a mask of alcohol? In this eye-opening episode of 'Stop Drinking and Start Living', Mary Wagstaff sits down with Deana Barnes, who shares her incredible journey of balancing holistic arts and alcohol since she was just 15. Deana reveals how she once believed that an altered state of consciousness heightened her awareness, only to find it did the opposite.
Instead of clarity, it brought chaos and imbalance, leading her to a crucial turning point. Deana's story is a testament to the power of facing one's shadows head-on. She explains that true liberation came from diving deep into her inner struggles, understanding that the world is bigger than herself. This awareness helped her connect more deeply with the world around her and embrace her true self.
Through vivid storytelling, Deana discusses the importance of inner child work and visualization in overcoming layers of anger, resentment, and unfulfilled dreams. In this episode, you'll hear about the natural cycles and rhythms of life and how moving with them can bring a subtle yet profound shift in living. Deana also emphasizes the need to tap into personal intuition, especially in today's world. Her insights are not just about quitting alcohol but about embracing authenticity and holistic wellness.
Deana hosts private healing retreats at her sanctuary in Mount Hood, Oregon, and works remotely with clients worldwide. Her journey is full of universal insights that can inspire anyone looking to transform their relationship with alcohol and discover their true selves. Tune in for a conversation that's as enlightening as it is empowering.
