EP 17: Why Yoga Pro Julie Blamphin Started Questioning Her Relationship with Alcohol


Listen Later

What if the thing keeping you from feeling your best was hiding in plain sight?

Today’s guest, Julie Blamphin, is a yoga pro, speaker, author, and founder of Stretch Your Spirit—where she helps women feel joyful, stable, and even sexy through movement and stillness. With decades of experience teaching movement and wellness, Julie always considered herself a healthy person. But there was one thing she hadn’t fully examined—her relationship with alcohol.

After years of drinking out of habit (not for any particular reason), Julie began to question whether alcohol was truly serving her. Was it supporting her sleep, hydration, and brain health? Or was it subtly holding her back?

That curiosity led her to connect with me—and the journey that followed was life-changing.

In this episode of Sober Fit Life, we explore:

🧘‍♀️ The intersection of mindfulness and sobriety—why self-awareness is the first step
🍷 How alcohol impacts brain health, sleep, and the nervous system—especially for women over 40
💭 The mental space alcohol takes up—and how freeing it is to let that go
🔥 Pelvic floor health & alcohol’s effect on the body (yes, we go there—and it’s eye-opening!)
😏 Why some women struggle with intimacy after quitting drinking—and how to reclaim sensuality

Julie shares her honest experience of modifying her drinking, experimenting with sober months, and ultimately realizing that stillness and self-connection bring far more joy than any glass of wine ever could.

This episode is packed with wisdom, real talk, and empowering takeaways for anyone curious about living a more aligned, mindful, and energized life.
