Soul Searching Through Self Control with Leah


Listen Later

What happens when we finally shed the "fun drunk" persona that's been masking our authentic selves? Leah's remarkable journey from social drinker to embracing an alcohol-free life reveals the profound transformation that can occur when we stop numbing ourselves.

After a startling wake-up call involving her daughter, Leah made the life-changing decision to quit drinking without putting a timeline on it. What began as a personal boundary-setting exercise evolved into a journey of self-discovery spanning over a year and a half. With refreshing honesty, she reveals the initial challenges of navigating social situations without liquid courage, and how facing these moments head-on ultimately led to greater confidence and authentic connection.

The creative renaissance that followed her decision to stop drinking is nothing short of inspiring. From brewing kombucha and propagating succulents to tackling long-postponed landscaping projects, Leah discovered wells of energy and creativity she never knew existed beneath the surface of her alcohol habit. Most importantly, her relationship with her daughters transformed as she became fully present, reliable, and emotionally available - especially during the profound experience of losing her father.

The spiritual dimension of Leah's journey emerges through a remarkable story involving otters appearing at a meaningful location after her father's passing, providing comfort and confirmation that connections transcend physical existence. Her exploration of Buddhist teachings reveals a woman finding her authentic spiritual path rather than following prescribed religious routes.

Whether you're sober-curious, already on an alcohol-free journey, or simply fascinated by stories of personal transformation, this conversation offers a candid look at how removing alcohol can unlock your potential, deepen relationships, and help you fall in love with yourself.
