Reimagining Identity: Margaret's Journey Beyond Retirement and Sobriety

So the reality of life without alcohol is: I feel so much emotionally that I've grown so much in The Two And A Half Years where I was stagnating before because I was afraid of feeling things.
Ever wondered who you are without the labels society gives you? In this thought-provoking episode of 'The Bubble Hour', Jean McCarthy chats with Margaret about the profound changes that come with retirement and sobriety. Margaret opens up about her struggle to find meaning after leaving her career behind, a challenge many face when their identity is closely tied to their job. But instead of feeling lost, she found freedom in rediscovering herself.
This conversation dives into the importance of defining ourselves from within, rather than relying on external validation. Margaret shares how letting go of alcohol played a crucial role in her emotional growth and self-discovery. They also touch on the power of mindfulness as a tool for navigating these changes. The episode is a heartfelt exploration of embracing emotions, the beauty of growing older, and the journey towards self-assurance.
Whether you're dealing with retirement, sobriety, or any major life change, Margaret's story offers hope and encouragement to find your true self.
