*trigger warning talks of mental health and suicidal ideation*

Do you ever feel stuck? A bit listless? Or maybe you feel like you're just floating through life on autopilot?

Maybe you want to change that but just don't know how.

Today I speak to Sonya McAleer, a Confidence coach who found herself in this exact situation

We speak about her journey and how working as an equestrian coach the thing she would notice that people struggled with most was their confidence

How we don't realise how strong and resilient we are as equestrians

We speak about mental blocks and how even those who look like they've everything together have them too

She speaks about her own experience with mental health and through really looking at herself and questioning herself she was able to come out the other side of a dark time

About how throwing some grenades into her life was the only way to move towards the life she wants to live

We also speak about alcohol and what it's like when you don't drink (Sonya gave up drinking alcohol a year ago)

The role of alcohol and how we use it as a way to keep ourselves small

We go on to speak about the importance of liking yourself as you are your number one priority

Sonya finishes by reminding people to ask themselves the tough questions, it may not be fun, and you may not like the answers but you need to ask the questions
