This show is about all things personal development. It’s about adopting a leadership mindset so that we can show up fully in all of our roles, positively impact the next generation, AND create a life we LOVE, where we feel fulfilled, and many of you know, if you’ve been a listener for a while, that I gave up alcohol, which was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, because, like a lot of moms today, I LOVED my wine. Loved it. But it has been a big part of my personal development journey, and so from time to time on the show, I talk about THAT part of my story, my complicated relationships with alcohol, my struggle giving it up, how it’s changed my life, and sometimes I like to bring in other people who can relate to this part of my journey, who are also sober, who are ALSO working on themselves and changing their life, and so today I have an inspiring interview for you with a fellow mama, someone who I personally relate to so much, Bridget Covill. Bridget is a ALSO sober mamma, she has 4 kids, she is a registered nurse, and a certified health and life coach. She was the mom who looked like she had it all together, but secretly she was just surviving. Getting sober and becoming a coach has taught her how to regain self love and acceptance and really discover who she has always been. She now have the honor of helping moms who feel like they are not enough gain back their self-confidence and find purpose in their busy life. In this inspiring episode we talk about mindset, the different ways in which we ALL buffer from pain and try to numb shame, not just drinking, but maybe it’s smoking, overeating, shopping, scrolling, checking out, the ways in which we try to feel normal and try to take control of the outcomes in our life, we talk about the thoughts, that cause us to have certain feelings, which leads to us doing things to manage those feelings, that result in outcomes we don’t want.
