On Being AFAF: A Conversation With Doug Gelling

Welcome to Episode 3 of The AFAF Shift! This poignant episode dives deep into the turbulent waters of adolescence—a time fraught with identity crises, unrequited love, and the insidious onset of alcohol reliance. Through the lens of Erik Erikson's psychosocial stages, host Lee Davy revisits his teenage years to unravel the 'Liquid Lie' society often tells us, where alcohol becomes a damaging rite of passage. Tune in for a captivating blend of personal storytelling and psychological insight that reveals how these formative years set the stage for later relationship dynamics, addictive behaviours, and the perpetual quest for external validation. Lee also opens up about his transformational journey and offers actionable steps for developing a more conscious, SELF-led life. Don't miss this episode; it promises to be as impactful as it is revealing. See you on the other side of the 'AFAF Shift'!

After ditching the booze Janey launched a podcast ‘Alcohol Free Life’ focusing on sober self-care, she gave a TEDx talk Sobriety Rocks- Who Knew!  and runs The Sober Club, a platform offering a non-judgemental community for people who are committed to sobriety and want to ‘upscale’ their life without the booze and focus on health and wellbeing.
Janey is passionate about encouraging people to ditch the chemicals, focus on great nutrition, selfcare, and finding their purpose as she found for herself that quitting the booze was the missing link in the ‘holistic living’ picture. She also offers coaching and is trained in EFT, Matrix Re-imprinting and NLP.
