Episode 28: It's Always Awkward Before It's Elegant" Rebecca (Bex) Weller, bestselling author 'A Happier Hour' and director of 'Sexy Sobriety'
Making Sobriety Sexy? Yes, Rebecca (Bex) Weller is doing just that!
One day Bex took a leap of faith in herself and left her old life behind. She embarked on a 3-month sobriety experiment that became a quest for self-discovery, and transformed her entire life.
Bex shares her own story for the benefit of others. How she took her own experiment in sobriety to creating a growing business that was recognised nationally.
Bex is the writer of A Happier Hour and newly released, Up All Day, plus the award recognised creator of sexysobriety.com.
I invited Bex to come on the show today with our coffee and contemplation focus point being on binge-drinking and the slow creep of increased drinking.
Bex' work has been featured by The Telstra Business Awards, The Australia, Sydney Morning Herald, The Huffington Post, MindBodyGreen, Better Homes & Gardens USA, SBS Food, Good Health Magazine, Marie Claire Australia and Elle Quebec, to name a few.
It's crystal clear in listening to Bex that she's positively impacting the lives of an ever-widening international community of followers.
Bex talks about her desire to provide her online members with a 'soft place to fall' as they take baby steps towards a new life. The questions we contemplate range from:
1. when you are planning your 90th birthday party, what 3 things would you like to think your 3 favourite people will say you achieved already in this one precious life you've lived?
2. The feeling and impact of being recognised as Finalist of the Telstra Business Awards - just 3 years into that business' life cycle.
3. What's the last straw, if there is one, that Bex sees as the most common STOP SIGN for someone signing up to experiment in sobriety.
4. How can we change from 'oh, really, you're not drinking tonight, go on, just have one...' to 'oh, you drink, I don't do that anymore / I don't have time for that anymore'. How not drinking is seen as the odd behaviour.
5. Bex shares her thoughts on two quotes from one of the world's most revered thinkers on the psychology of addiction, Dr Gabor Mate's book 'In the Realm of the Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction
'Not why the addiction, but why the pain'.
and
'It is impossible to understand addiction without asking what relief the addict finds, or hopes to find, in the drug or the addictive behaviour.'
Plus the usual favourite quote or mantra - in Bex' case she has 2 favourite quotes she'll share.
Thank you for joining me in this very comfortable chat with Bex today.
