Description

This show takes a look at sobriety in a powerful new way where absolutes work for some and are needed, Colleen Ryan Hensley shares an additional perspective: What if we binged on sobriety the way we binged on all the things that take us away from feeling all the feelings of life and moving through it wholly awake and more empowered? Colleen is a 10-year Navy veteran, candidate for Certified Mental Performance Coach with the Association for Applied Sport Psychology and founder of https://colleenryanhensley.com/ which I encourage you to connect with if today’s conversation resonates. She holds an advanced degree in performance psychology and spent 5-years with the team of cutting-edge researchers and clinicians at the University of Texas at Dallas’ Center for BrainHealth teaching High-Performance Cognitive Training to military veterans and their spouses and caregivers, active duty military, and first responders around the country. There are a lot of things we do to numb ourselves in life and today we explore how it looks and what we might stand to gain by widening the gaps between those numbing tools being in use, and the times when we’re “binging sober” as Colleen puts it. A wonderful show to encourage introspection as we close out a year and look to the next. Thanks for being here as a brilliant member of our podcast-listening community.

Hello! Thanks for being curious about the Low Tox Life podcast. I'm Alexx Stuart, your host, and after writing and researching on health and sustainability for many years at lowtoxlife.com, I am thrilled to bring this podcast to you as an extension of the online community. The concept of living a Low Tox Life is one that rejects perfection, black and white notions of there only being one way to 'do it right'. Instead, we take a relaxed and curious approach to better choices to incorporate into our lives as and if they fit. Low Tox therefore instead of 'no tox' which to most of us who aren't on an off grid hippy commune, just isn't achievable. There's nothing more that makes me sad than having people quit before they begin because you feel like a failure. Let's feel awesome about what we can learn and do from today! On this show, we cover lots of low tox topics around sustainability, health, fashion, farming, lowering our toxic load and mind happiness and with the brilliant minds I'm so grateful to chat with, I just know you'll be inspired as I am from each show. Enjoy, subscribe, pop the kettle on and most importantly: Welcome!
