In Laura McKowen’s memoir, We Are The Luckiest, she writes, “There is a life that is calling you forward, begging you to meet its eye, to glimpse its vision for you. You can get only so far by running away from what you do not want. Eventually you will have to turn toward what you do. You will have to run toward a bigger yes.”
 
I invited Laura to join me on the podcast to talk about how to say yes to a bigger life and how to be more intentional about how they’re living. 
 
Laura McCowen is the author of the book, We Are the Luckiest - The Surprising Magic of a Sober Life. Laura also writes an award winning blog and has hosted two incredible podcasts, Home and Spiritualish. She has been featured in The New York Times, The Guardian, Web MD Psychology Today, The Today Show and more. 
 
Laura leads workshops with women and men to go deeper into learning about what is meaningful in their lives. 
 
This work is valuable for anyone at any time, but is especially transformative for women who have stopped drinking or are re-evaluating their relationship with alcohol.
 
When you’re giving up drinking - and the space it occupies in your days, life, social circle and identity - it’s important to reflect on what else is meaningful to you and deeper callings you have.  
 
This podcast and Laura’s work will speak to you if 

you desire a deeper sense of purpose in your life

you dream about spending your days in a more connected, meaningful way

you need clarity around a big life decision or relationship

you know you're not living into your potential, but don't know how to get from "here" to "there"

you're tired of feeling depleted, disconnected, and alone

you want to create or deepen your spiritual practice

In this episode, Laura and I discuss:

How to say YES to a better life without alcohol

How to listen to your inner voice and stop letting fear hold you back

Why you often don’t need to do a big thing or make huge changes in your job or relationships to find more happiness in your life
