Untapped Keg

Join us as we welcome Angela, a certified alcohol freedom and life coach passionate about helping others achieve greater peace and joy in their lives. Angela's own personal journey of growth and transformation has taught her the importance of radical self-care and the incredible impact it can have on our well-being. Lets explore the twists of adult ADHD diagnosis and the path to sobriety. Our guests unveil their heartfelt journey in a world seemingly built for others. As a working mom, Angela understands the unique challenges we all face in balancing our responsibilities and taking care of ourselves at the same time. Despite her successful career as a nurse and active involvement in her community, Angela struggled with feeling overwhelmed and depleted on the inside. She turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism, only to realize that it was actually the cause of her stress and anxiety. Whether you're navigating sobriety, ADHD, or both, this episode is your guiding light.

The first step in our self discovery journey is knowing our starting point! For many as we look to discover or rediscover ourselves we may try on a lot of different hats but the only real way to grow, to improve and to find ourselves is to understand our starting point. We need to be able to see ourselves in the mirror not a past reflection of who we either were or who we thought we were, lets build on a sturdy framework together! Come and join the conversation and let us know your thoughts!

So, today we'll be chatting to coach, mentor and mountain guide, Jake Yoder discussing all areas of sobriety, the journey to still being able to 'have fun' and living the best life possible after putting down the bottle. Join as we look into Jake's own personal connection with alcohol, the fight for adventure and a frank discussion on how you can still have fun and more than that, have way more fun with the ever present element of alcohol! Jake's website: http://NaturalHighsRecovery.org Come and join the conversation and let us know your thoughts!

Today we'll be delving into the the journey of self-discovery so many of us go on after achieving sobriety. Shining a light on how sobriety isn't merely about giving up substances, it's a gateway to rediscover your authentic self, embrace a new identity, and unlock untapped potential. Many may find their way to sobriety without ever truly finding themselves, so many times we are lost to our own misunderstanding, assumptions of who or what we are that when we find a way to discover ourselves it becomes a harder prospect than sobriety itself. Join us as we explore the idea of peeling back the layers, facing your fears, and finding out who we truly are beyond our addictive behaviours, it's time to tap something other than a keg!

Time for session two where we delve further into the coaching toward sobriety and with it self discovery! Self discovery and understanding who you are when the veil has been pulled down from newly found and progressing sobriety can be a daunting time but one to embrace not shy from.

The Good Eye Podcast feat RJ Zimmerman Untapped Keg Ep 148 Hey you, I was on a podcast recently called Good Eye Podcast with Jay Smack. When I listened to the podcast myself I realized that it was the best description of my journey to right now, and the best explanation of my mission going forward. So with Jay’s permission I’m posting it here, for you! Go give Good Eye Podcast a follow, because Jay has some amazing guests on there and Jay himself is doing some really great things too! Little known fact, the theme music from Good Eye Podcast was composed by Jay himself! RJ Zimmerman has been sober from alcohol, drugs, gambling and other addictive substances and activities for 8 years. He started the “Untapped Keg” podcast to address and create a community of people who are trying to live a fuller life without the barriers that certain substances and activities can create. But also included in that community are people who want others to live according to what is best for them and choose to indulge in certain substances and activities within reason and responsibly. He talks about a culture that all but requires people to partake lest they suffer exclusion and how it makes living a sober life by choice that much more difficult. He talks about the importance of connection with one’s self as well as family and friends.

Lived Experience Education with Mindset By Dave Untapped Keg Ep 146 The conversation of mental health has never been more full of misinformation and outdated methods. That’s why it’s important to find people who approach the subject with an understanding that there is no one right way and that there is an ever evolving way of looking at life.
