Isolation Vs. Loneliness with Courtney Andersen

In this episode, I talk with my friend and business partner, Courtney Andersen of Sober Vibes and Real Aligned Women about her take on isolation and loneliness in women.

We talk about how quitting drinking can cause you to feel isolated and how I viewed sobriety in the beginning, especially in relationships.

Courtney shares her insights as a woman who quit drinking at twenty-nine and what sobriety in the early days meant for her. She experienced ALL of it - isolation, loneliness, and through it all came out in recovery.

Also, we talk about why isolation isn't a bad thing but signs to look for when it starts to become too much.

Five Ways You May Self-Sabotage and Hold Yourself Back

I share with you tips and strategies on how to identify and get to the root of what is causing you to self-sabotage.

We ALL self-sabotage every now and then and I will give you examples but when it becomes a pattern of behavior that may lead to health problems, relationship issues, financial mishap, and job loss, something has to GIVE.

Self Sabotage is to indulge in behaviors that prevent you from living your BIG life and reaching your goals, dreams, and purpose. What you want most is on the other side of self-sabotage.

It is your logical conscious mind at odds with your more loose and wild subconscious mind.

Topics discussed:

• Procrastination
• Perfectionism
• Self-limiting belief's
• Self-medication
• Journal prompts to help you identify self-sabotage
• Why self-sabotage is detrimental to your health
• How to put an end to limiting yourself by naming your inner bully
• Living today as your higher self
