    Meet Mary the Original BadA$$ B*tch!

    Today I'm sitting down with one of the biggest badasses I know! Mary is a first generation woman born into a big Irish family that had plenty of drinking issues. In her late 50's, and sick of her own shit, she signed up for a Dry January. She started feeling the amazing benefits almost immediately and started to wonder "what if I kept going?" She did! and on New Years Day 2025 she will be celebrating two years sober. We both belong to an incredible sober women's empowerment group. If you're looking for group support, I highly recommend: https://www.instagram.com/sobahsistahs/ Be sure to give Mary some love if you enjoyed the episode: https://www.instagram.com/marleyreidy/

    Ashlee decides to try out a sober chapter (and loves it!)

    Today I am sitting down with Ashlee. We dive into her parents divorce and her Mom's subsequent alcohol use. A health scare and hospital stay for her Mother began the little nudge inside of her that said "maybe it would be good to take a break from alcohol". Her journey has taken some twists and turns and has ultimately led her to become a fellow BadA$$ alcohol free success and mindset coach. Be sure to give her a follow and download her "22 Day Alcohol Free Guide". She also has an alcohol free group coaching cohort starting up this month. Get through the Holidays WITHOUT feeling like Sh*t! Sounds good to me:) Sol-beginnings.com https://www.instagram.com/sol_beginnings/

    Today I am joined by Jason. He is a father and business owner in the Philly area. When he committed to Dry January, he had no idea how rich and fulfilling his life would become. Today he credits his sobriety for running a successful construction business and being a great Dad to his young kids (ages 3 and 4). Together we discuss some limiting beliefs around alcohol and how it truly is a life worth living if you just give it a chance. Be sure to follow him and give him some love on Instagram; https://www.instagram.com/scholldj/

    Emily uses Ketamine therapy to conquer Bi-polar disorder AND Alcohol addiction

    Join me today to chat with Emily about her decision to use ketamine treatments to combat her Bi-polar disorder which also, in turn completely took away her craving for alcohol. I learned so much in this episode! Today she uses her voice in the space to squash stigmas associated with alternative treatments, which in my book makes her a total BadA$$! Check out her IG, website and Ketamine treatment FAQ: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KCDMdo7Gb5uTKxprC9hQNXQTuD9LP_6t/view?usp=share_link https://www.instagram.com/emilyjacobsencoaching/ https://www.emilyjacobsencoaching.com/
