Alcohol was never really the problem and that's the key right. It's the unconscious mind speaking to us and telling us things, and the inner critic, and is driving the show, running the show in the background, and I didn't know any of that.
Have you ever found yourself in the 'gray area' of drinking, where you're not exactly an alcoholic but know your relationship with alcohol isn't quite right? Kari Schwear knows this feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Braving the Journey', host Zach Mathers chats with Kari, a Gray Area Drinking Expert, Executive Coach, Speaker, and Author. Kari opens up about her own struggles with alcohol and how she felt stuck between social drinking and severe alcohol abuse.
Frustrated with traditional recovery programs, she founded GrayTonic and created the 'Question the Drink' and 'Try Dry for 30' programs. These initiatives are designed for people who don't necessarily need full-on recovery but are seeking a healthier lifestyle and self-discovery. During their conversation, Kari dives into how our unconscious mind and inner critic often drive our drinking habits. She emphasizes the importance of asking ourselves tough questions and sitting with discomfort to find a more authentic way of living.
This episode isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about understanding why we drink in the first place and exploring non-alcoholic options that can lead to a more fulfilling life. Whether you're sober curious, trying to moderate, or supporting someone on their journey, Kari's insights offer a fresh perspective on navigating the gray areas of drinking. Tune in to hear how you can move beyond ambiguity and step into a healthier, more empowered life.
