In this week's Waking Up from Breaking Up (WUBU) episode we interview my neighbour, Lauren Mills.

Lauren is a career-oriented person whose professional ambition and journey have taken her to numerous career endeavours but also shares the downfall of her ambition and busy lifestyle.

The busy culture is a paradox! It offers both benefits and drawbacks. On one hand, it can bring productivity, motivation, and a sense of purpose. But on the other hand, it can also have negative consequences on our well-being. The sense of accomplishment and the feeling of being engaged can provide a boost to our self-esteem and overall satisfaction. While busyness can be invigorating, excessive busyness can lead to negative consequences for our health. When we're constantly busy, we often neglect self-care, rest, and relaxation. This can result in chronic stress, anxiety, and even burnout. Our mental, emotional, and physical well-being can suffer as a result.

Listen to the episode to get advice on how to change the trajectory of your busy lifestyle and focus on having a balance lifestyle.

In this week's Waking Up from Breaking Up (WUBU) episode we interview Mic Deane, a co-founder of the community Sober Babes Vancouver.

Mic shares her journey from when she decided to stop drinking, focus on her mental health, and embrace sobriety. She tells us how her life has shifted and the positive effects of choosing sobriety.

Alcohol can have a significant impact on mental health. Many people turn to alcohol as a coping mechanism to numb emotional pain, stress, or anxiety. However, what initially seems like a solution often exacerbates the underlying issues. Alcohol is a depressant and can intensify symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Sobriety allowed Mic to reclaim control over her life. It brought her clarity, and increased emotional stability. Removing alcohol as a coping mechanism allowed her to confront and address underlying issues, leading to personal growth and a stronger sense of self.
