    Episode 011 : Empowerment After Addiction: The Role of Sobriety in Personal Transformation - Kari Schwear

    Summary Carrie Schwer shares her journey from gray area drinking to becoming a beacon of hope for others. She discusses the realization of her drinking problem and the challenges she faced in addressing it. Carrie also talks about starting a wine club and a non-alcoholic social group as alternatives to her previous drinking habits. She emphasizes the importance of revisiting one's why during the journey of transformation and the role of the community in supporting individuals undergoing significant life changes. In this conversation, Kari Schwear shares a powerful transformation story of a woman named Liz who was in a loveless marriage and struggling with confidence. Through coaching, Liz quit drinking and started working on building her confidence and using her voice. This led to her having tough conversations with her husband and eventually deciding to leave him. As she stood up for herself and changed her business, her entire life shifted, and she became the happiest she's ever been. Takeaways Gray area drinking is the space between being a social drinker and having a severe drinking problem. Revisiting your why is crucial during the transformation journey as it serves as an anchor and motivator. Community support is vital for individuals undergoing significant life changes, as it provides a sense of belonging and the knowledge that they are not alone. Overcoming denial and recognizing the need for change requires radical honesty and a willingness to explore one's relationship with alcohol. Managing the pain and self-doubt associated with change involves embracing vulnerability and sharing one's story with others. Quitting drinking is just the first step in personal transformation. Building confidence and using your voice are essential for personal growth. Making tough decisions and setting boundaries can lead to positive changes in relationships. Focusing on what is best for you and being authentic in your interactions can lead to meaningful connections.

    EPISODE 006 : Embracing Resistance and Speaking Your Truth: A Journey of Personal Growth and Transformation - Jose Alejandro
