A habit is a routine behaviour that is repeated regularly and often unconsciously. It can either be a positive or negative and is formed through consistent repetition over time.

Listen to us talk about habits and how creating positive habits to replace the old is beneficial especially when ditching the booze.

Sober trolling is not ok. People who are sober are the most inspiring, strong and empowering people we know. We might seem boring to people who drink alcohol but were not boring we just get our highs elsewhere. Listen to this episode on our take of "Sober Trolling".

Lindsay ditched the booze in August 2020. Stalling in her career, losing the ambition and drive she once had. She knew she needed to change. After 20 months of dry weekends and months here and there she finally had her day one. Going alcohol free gave her the confidence to say goodbye to her 6 figure/year job and become an accredited sober coach working with midlife women who are feeling STUCK.

Listen to Lindsays story, Enjoy!!!!!!

I love this definition of boundaries copied from Chat GPT.

Boundaries are the guidelines, rules, or limits that a person establishes to protect their physical, emotional and mental well-being. They define what is acceptable or unacceptable behaviour, interactions, or experiences in relationships, work, and other areas of life. Setting and maintaining boundaries is important for healthy relationships and self-care.

Knowing your "why" refers to understanding your purpose, motivations, and values behind your actions and goals. It's important because it gives your life direction, clarity, and meaning. Understanding your why can help you make better decisions, stay focused during challenges, and live a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life. It serves as a compass guiding your choices and actions toward what truly matters to you.

Gill McKay runs Inquisitive Coaching helping professional, successful mid-life women to break free from the hold of alcohol and start living a life on their own terms-a life they don't want to escape from. She also works with teams and organisations to open up the conversation around alcohol to halt the stigma around sobriety and sober curiosity. She is passionate about stopping the silence of stigma and her recent TEDx talk (see below in show notes) discusses how conversations, human connection and community are the starting points in providing the antidote.

With a background in neuroscience, Gill is also a mental first aider and best-selling author of "STUCK: Brain Smart Insights for Coaches". She is currently writing her second book "Goodbye Hangover, Hello life, Busting the Myths around Sobriety" which shares her own journey to happily ditching the booze for good and provides a framework for readers to use when they are ready to do the same.

A gray area drinker is someone who doesn't fit neatly into the categories "take it or leave it" or "rock bottom needing medical intervention". Its a term often used to describe individuals whose drinking habits fall somewhere between moderate and problematic.

Donna and Zoe work with gray area drinkers on a 1:1 coaching basis. If you would like further information on our coaching both our websites are in the show notes, please see below.
