We walk the talk with guest Lindsay Sutherland Boal founder of She Walks Canada and The Uncovery App. An incredibly insightful conversation where we explored how women are showing up in all areas of life, the definition of problematic drinking, the pitfalls of trying to moderate, and so much more. Determined to create solutions she struggled to find, in 2021 a year after giving up alcohol, Lindsay launched She Walks Canada. She Walks Canada is an online platform that offers connection and coaching to likeminded women on a path to alcohol free living. After overachieving her goal of women walking the globe together, Lindsay pondered what's next? Taking her mission to the next level she developed The Uncovery App. Just released in the spring, this is the first women centric empowerment app through the lens of alcohol free living. We're so excited about the quest Lindsay's on to help woman discover the bright side of life. We can't wait to see what's to come next!

The topic for this episode was inspired by a recent burst of social media posts popping up in our feed for products claiming to be healthier "alternative to alcohol". Another scary new trend of substances declaring they give you "all the BUZZ" of alcohol with none of the negative side effects. We're curious to understand what's in these products and what are the long term effects of using them. As the saying goes if it sounds too good to be true it probably is! We ask the question "why do some many people have the constant desire to be "Buzzed"? Is it just a means of escape? It's become more and more common for people to look to a substance or the next "quick fix" to alter their current state. Why are we relying on these outside sources when we have so many free ones that naturally increase our brains feel good chemicals? This just proves that as a society we still have a lot more work to do on the inside before we stop seeking solutions from the outside. **Please remember to: Like, Subscribe and leave us a 5-star rating or review.

Great conversation with author Paulette Kengg exploring her spirit led sobriety. Paulette came from a very tragic childhood growing up with 2 alcoholic parents. Surprisingly her own drinking was never problematic until she experienced an extreme bout of insomnia in her early 50's and an old friend recommended "just have a glass a wine" as a cure to help her sleep. Initially the wine worked but to Paulette's utter shock she quickly found her brains response changing as she rapidly became addicted and dependent on alcohol. After a life threatening accident and many attempts with different recovery programs, Paulette finally decided to turn back to her faith and found sobriety in her surrender to God. Paulette feels she was called by God to write and share her book Spirit-Led Sobriety. By openly sharing her story, she hopes to help release others from the overwhelming shame around alcohol abuse that continues to linger in the Christian Community.

In this episode your hosts are having a meaningful conversation about Alcohol. Since choosing an alcohol free lifestyle we are often approached by people with lots of questions. We believe these conversations are important to have as you never know who you may be helping. We also recognize that some of those conversations can feel awkward or challenging especially with our teenagers. It's imperative as parents to be curious, ask questions and stay We also touch on how to talk to anyone in your life that may be reaching out because they are questioning their relationship with alcohol. We ask the hard questions while empathizing the importance of taking a gentle and non judgmental approach. The key is to make people feel supported enough to know the door is always open for future conversations. **Please remember to: Like, Subscribe and leave us a 5-star rating or review.

Our guest Katey Armstrong comes to us with a unique perspective on living alcohol free. Unlike most of our guests Katey didn't grow up struggling with her relationship with alcohol. Katey was actually only an occasional drinker who never really enjoyed it. What Katey did always struggle with, were the objections she continually got every time she said "No" to drinking. 3 years ago Katey realized there was no real reason for her to continue to consume alcohol, she didn't enjoy it nor did it align with her lifestyle as a health & wellness coach, so she gave it up completely. Katey explains to us how she finally found her voice after years of continuing to say "No" to alcohol. It's no surprise that Katey has found many sober curious people gravitating towards her now, as she is a perfect example of what it looks like to be living an abundantly energetic alcohol free life!

In this episode we discuss the possibility of a connection between alcohol use and our self-esteem. We question if the way we feel about ourselves is directly related to our alcohol consumption and why people start to use alcohol at a young age to fit into social situations. We also speak about the flip side that relying on alcohol for a false sense of self confidence can impact your self-esteem long term. How continued alcohol use leads to poor decision making which perpetuate the shame cycle, which results in an overall lower self-esteem. We believe the most empowering step to increasing self-esteem is making the choice to say "No" to alcohol!

What a great conversation we had with our guest, accomplished author Bryan Wempen. Bryan had an instant love affair with alcohol the first time he tried it at the young age of 14. That was followed with many years of battling his tempestuous relationship with substance abuse. Bryan has spent the last 14 years of sobriety being actively involved in the recovery community and telling his story through his writing. Bryan has written 3 books around addiction and his life experiences. Now he is embarking on a new journey releasing his 1st fictional novel and starting his own publishing company, Red Yarrow Books, where he hopes to help other aspiring writers.

In this episode we question the idea that alcohol gives us confidence?? On the contrary, we believe using alcohol can be detrimental to our confidence by putting us in a poor decision making state that contributes to a lowered self-esteem. Making the decision to say "No” to alcohol can be the first step to re-building our confidence. Trusting ourselves and having the belief "we can do this" slowly builds the self evidence and as the evidence starts to stack up we finally establish the self awareness needed to truly feel confident. It's starts with one good decision, one day at a time. **Please remember to: Like, Subscribe and leave us a 5-star rating or review. If you enjoyed this episode SHARE it with a friend.

In this episode we discuss things we wish we knew or someone told us when we were drinking. As we dive into some of the things, like how drinking increases anxiety or how lonely drinking can be we also question whether if we knew any of these things would they have stopped us. The reality is probably not but is there one thing or a certain person in our lives that could have said something to us that would have helped change our relationship with alcohol sooner. This episode is NOT about regrets, we all appreciate that people get to where they need to be in their our own time and we are all happy with the paths we took to get us here. We hope this episode speaks to the people out there that may be where we were right now and need to hear this!! **Please remember to: Like, Subscribe and leave us a 5-star rating or review.

Living Alcohol Free like many things, is not a one size fits all approach. We started this podcast to show people that there are many ways to live a beautiful alcohol free life. We choose this somewhat controversial topic because we were disappointed with some of the judgment we'd seen recently in comments on Social Media regarding how people choose to live alcohol free. We wanted to address this for everyone starting out on this journey as we know there can be a lot of fear around the idea of giving up alcohol. We didn't want anyone considering an alcohol free lifestyle to be influenced by the opinion that it needs to be done a certain way to be the right way. What works for some does not work for all, so the best way is to find your own way! Find what works for you and what makes you feel good. From time to time we can all fall victim to making judgements, but next time you do, stop and remind yourself that judgement is our inner voice whispering "You still have work to do my child". We are all on the say team in this space....."Team No Alcohol" and that's why it's important we support ALL the ways.

Great guest episode chatting with successful Real Estate agent Deborah Leblanc. Deborah is a perfect example of someone who grew up in an environment where drinking alcohol was the norm. As she carried on to adulthood her drinking progressed into a daily habit. After an ongoing health issue that she was convinced was due to her drinking habit, she made the instant decision to stop.
