Being “sober” hasn’t always been popular. In fact, our culture pretty much revolves around alcohol. From wild happy hours to weddings and birthday parties, we celebrate many of life’s greatest events with champagne, wine, beer, and cocktails (sometimes all in one night!).But do you ever wonder what life would be like without alcohol? Do you use alcohol to overcome social anxiety or to suppress emotions? Maybe you don’t have to drink, but you often do and wish you didn’t. Well boo, sober curiosity might just be for you…I have recently been exploring my own relationship with alcohol and invited my very special guest, sober curious coach Jennie Juechter, to talk to us about using longer periods of going alcohol free as a tool for self love, self discovery and developing intimacy for yourself.Take a sneak peek at the episode:We find out what it means to be “sober curious”Jennie shares her experience working in the alcohol industry and how it impacted her relationship with alcoholWe learn how “meeting yourself” opens the heart and allows for deep connections with others.We discover the importance of embracing all parts of yourself to heal We see how deconditioning your desire for alcohol can help you find natural levels of happiness againAnd actually, this isn’t just about alcohol! There are so many parallels we can draw with this and giving up sugar and flour, so even if you don’t drink, this is still super insightful.ReferencesFollow Jennie on Instagram: @the_jennie_juechterTeal Swan on parts work“Existential Kink” by Carolyn ElliottFollow psychiatrist @doc_amen on Instagram P.s.
