Hi, I'm Lindsay Hennekey, Sober Coach and Founder of Feel Good AF. This is a podcast for women who are sober or sober curious, looking for support in navigating a life without alcohol. I'm so glad you are here.  You may be thinking: What does an alcohol-free life look like for me? How do I live a life without drinking that doesn’t feel like I am missing something? How do I move beyond alcohol and into the elevated version of myself that I know is inside of me.  You are a hardworking, high-achieving, successful woman in so many areas of your life, who deserves to find a solution to the one big issue that has been holding you back. The solution exists and that's what this podcast is all about.  Each episode we'll cover one area of the Feel Good AF methodology - why moderation doesn't work, what to do when you have a slip, how to celebrate milestones, where you will find your alcohol-free community - and everything in between.  You'll be hearing a lot from me, but I'll also be bringing in a wide range of incredible women to share their stories, expertise, tips & advice, and so much more. Follow Feel Good Alcohol-Free wherever you get your podcasts, and subscribe to my YouTube channel for video episodes. Thanks for listening! Lindsay is your sober coach, not a health professional. If you are chemically dependent on alcohol, consult your doctor on the steps you need to take to safely detox.

    Episode 57: Why Alcohol Is Not What Makes You Interesting

    Alcohol is not what makes you interesting. It never has been and it never will be.  This is one of the common fears of women who want to quit drinking. But the truth is, alcohol is actually dulling your shine, draining your energy, and keeping you from being the version of you who has real, grounded confidence. Are you afraid that it's the wine that scores you invitations to nights out with friends? Are you worried that you will be too reserved without a cocktail in hand? Listen to this episode if you are ready to find a path towards an alcohol-free life that actually works for you.  Feeling good AF? Now that's what makes you interesting.  Resources From This Episode This week's assignment (23:12): Part 1: Ask yourself a question. Where have I been giving alcohol credit for something that's actually mine? For example: Your confidence, your humor, your sophistication, your ability to connect. Part 2: Take Action: What would it look like to practice doing one of those things without the prop? For example: Going to dinner and you order a mocktail and you leave when you want to. You don't leave when everyone else leaves. Or - You show up to one social event without trying to manage anyone else's expectations.Support the show Here's how you can stay connected:  🗓️ Schedule a 30-minute Discovery Call👩‍💻 Sign-up for Feel Good AF Coaching📱Follow along on Instagram📰 Subscribe to the Feel Good AF newsletterAnd remember, Lindsay is a sober coach, not a health professional.
