  • Ep.150 - Sara

    Thank you Sara for your time and openness. Here's Sara in her own words:

    About 2.5 years ago, I was confused about my drinking. I wanted to quit, but the idea of quitting was so overwhelming. I was also so confused about quitting drinking, I wondered if I needed to quit completely or if I just needed to learn to moderate. In my mind (at the time), I thought only alcoholics quit drinking, but I just kept thinking that I wasn't an alcoholic (because I hadn't hit a "rock bottom"). All of this confusion and fear around quitting drinking led me to continue drinking for a little too long.

    Finally I decided to take a 30 day break from drinking. I would quit for 30 days and then decide what I wanted to do after that. I worked a ton on my mindset during that time by doing daily gratitudes and daily affirmations. I also worked a lot on learning as much as I could about the effects of alcohol on my mental, physical, and emotional health. I felt so amazing after my 30 day break that I kept going! Around day 100, I knew I would never drink again. 

    Now, I help others do the same. I host monthly alcohol free challenges so other people can quit drinking for 30 days and see what life on the alcohol free side looks like. So many of my alcohol free challenge participants are just like me and find out that alcohol no longer serves them in their life and they quit drinking after 30 days.

    I would love to connect with you on social media if my story resonated with you. Also, if you want a kickstart on your alcohol free journey, grab my 10 Mantras that were so helpful to me in the beginning of my alcohol free journey: http://nomorewasteddays.co/10-mantras/

  • Ep.148 - Brooke

    Brooke Siem was among the first generation of teens to be medicated with antidepressants. Fifteen years later, heavily depressed and still on the same set of drugs that she was prescribed as a teenager, an opportunity to travel around the world for a year dropped into her lap. After spending half her life—and her entire adult life—on antidepressants, she wondered:Who might I be without them?

    Brooke's mission is to share the story of what happened after I booked a one-way ticket to Malaysia and got off all the drugs, one by one. Her work centers around the little-known reality of antidepressant withdrawal and the fight to manage the modern mental health system, all while demanding hope and forgiveness in the name of healing.  Her writing has appeared in The Washington Post, EatingWell Magazine, Esquire, The Rumpus, and more. Her memoir, MAY CAUSE SIDE EFFECTS, will be released in May of 2022.

  • Ep.146 - Jessica
    This week's episode is different in this sense that we didn't precisely discussed about an addiction or problem, but about life changing experiences.
    Jessica Stone is a Washington based news anchor and correspondent who covers intersection of politics and business around the world. We have discussed multiple subjects as well as the guts it took for her to fly in Afghanistan in her twenties without any precise plan, any support and went on to meet with great people and mostly meet with herself. Her book, Crossing the Divine, is a testimony of what she discovered in her multiple travels.
