We chat about the importance of unpacking your past traumas big and small, changing relationships, learning to sit with your emotional pain, and the relief that you get on the other side of sitting through the discomfort.

Aine Tyrrell is a fierce Irish woman, a musician, a mum, a daughter who is passionate about reclaiming her Irish culture. Her Irish culture which does not include pints of Guiness.
We talk about why she refuses to play gig on St Patricks day and how every time she says no to a drink she is healing her ancestral trauma and creating future healing for her children and their children.
This interview had me covered in goosebumps from start to finish and may have you rethinking some of these national holidays.

A must listen to for all parents of teenagers. In this episode I catch up with coach Isabella Furgeson. Growing up in Canberra in the 80's. Isabella found that alcohol gave her a voice, that sense of confidence turned into serious binge drinking. Fast forward to motherhood, the binge drinking continued to the point where Isabella found herself becoming the drunkest person at gatherings and parties. As the shame increased so did her drinking, where she began hiding her drinking from her husband. One particular night Isabella got so drunk she had to be rushed to hospital which was essentially her rock bottom, from there she detoxed and went into rehab. We chat about untangling your beliefs about yourself, how trying moderation led to more sneaking after rehab. Eventually Isabella found This Naked Mind course and was able to kick the habit, she know coaches others in sobriety and runs courses on How To Talk To Your Kids About Alcohol.

In this episode I catch up with my good mate and mentor Mark Purser. We chat about how as humans all we want to do is feel ok on the inside and when we don't feel ok on the inside we usually go to externals to make us ok. But there is that sweet spot, between the stimulus and the response. When we can recognise that we are not ok, we can respond in a way that is more nurturing rather than reacting and creating more suffering. We can rely on ourselves to get us through when we have the tools from a daily practice.
One good thing about removing alcohol is that we can start to recognise our emotional responses we can start to have a relationship with what is showing up rather than ignoring it or pushing it away. It can be an opportunity for deep healing.
Mark and I have a retreat in Bali coming up where we will be diving deep into self healing and nurturing. Please go to www.iquitalcohol.com.au for more details.
