S5 E2: Real Stories | Becoming Sober Curious with Amy


Listen Later

My guest on the show today is one of my long-term clients, Amy, who shares her story with us of coming from a place of feeling stressed and obsessed with food and her body, to now feeling completely free and at peace around food.

 

Her personal journey has had such a huge impact on her life, not only on her relationship with food and her body but also on her relationship with alcohol. As she began to rebuild her relationship with food, she started to question the impact that alcohol had on her life and discovered that she wasn’t willing to pay the costs anymore.

 

Her sober curiosity has led her to try and help others who also feel the same, by setting up Nolo, Ireland’s newest non-alcoholic bottle boutique. Nolo delivers an impressive collection of delicious no/low alcohol drinks. You can find out more here.

 

We speak about:

 

  • What her relationship with food was like prior to embarking on an intuitive eating journey

  • What motivated her to ditch dieting and embrace intuitive eating

  • The breakthroughs she experienced along the way and how she rebuilt her self-trust

  • How her goals shifted over time and how she dealt with the slow pace of healing

  • What helped her overcome her fear of weight gain

  • What her life looks like now

  • Why she decided to reduce alcohol in her life and how this change has affected her life

  • How this led to setting up her own business
