In this solocast I talk about alcohol and it's effect on our kids. Sometimes it can be really hard and really painful to take an honest look at yourself and to acknowledge that alcohol is effecting those little people we are raising. It can be the smallest thing like letting them go to bed to late, to not being there to protect them when they need you. My kids were one of the main reasons I decided to quit drinking. I wanted better for myself and I wanted to be a better Mum for them. I didn't want my kids seeing me drunk or seeing me act in a way that was not cool. That was enough for me to decide and then take serious action towards giving up and I never looked back.
It's never too late to change or to step up and be the example for your kids or for other kids around you.

In this episode I chat with Jason Quin, the creator of Etch Sparkling beverages. Jason saw a need to create a drink that adults could enjoy that wasn't boring, that was good for you and that was different to the usual non-alcoholic drinks on offer.
Jason knows his stuff, he was at the top of his game in the wine industry and worked most of his adult life working in the alcoholic beverage industry. A global traveller for his work and living a pretty good life. Little did so many of his friends and family know that he was battling a serious alcohol addiction that was destroying him.
Jason took the plunge and left his work and livelihood behind and started on a journey of transformation and wellness. He is probably one of the nicest humans I have spoken too and such a great advocate for how living authentically can change your life.

In this solocast I delve in to what holds us back in our life.
You know that alcohol is not serving you. If you are a binge drinker, you are fully aware that it is holding you back from your full potential. It’s bad for your health (mental and physical), it keeps you in a rut, it is costing you money, relationships, self-esteem and the list goes on. So why do we keep doing it to ourselves? Maybe the answer is fear.
What are we so afraid of?

In this monologue I cover some shared cringe factor moment. I asked for people to send in their most cringey or regretful moments caused by alcohol. Some of these can make you laugh some of them make me want to cry. We have all had them, but how often do we laugh them off and feel terrible inside. How often do we actually really attribute the blame to alcohol for these actions we regret. This is not about having no accountability but it's about realising that none of these things would have been possible without alcohol. When you really understand this you can then grasp that alcohol is not really your friend as so many of us think. Would your friend make you do things that make you cringe, things that you regret with all of your being?
I urge people to write down 5 things they blame alcohol. This is a very powerful exercise and can help you release any self hatred stemming from questionable actions. It can help you realise that alcohol is not serving you and can help you to release the strong hold it may have on you.

In this episode I chat with Lucy Slater who is in recovery for co-dependancy and alcohol abuse. Lucy has done some serious work on herself and continues to do so to stay grounded and as she says to stay human. The interesting thing about Lucy is she said she actually had to quit meditation and spiritual practices in order to stay grounded, which totally blew my mind. Lucy is a total inspiration and so wonderfully honest. I loved this inspirational and insightful chat.

In this episode, I have a beautiful conversation with Shane Tuner the Rock N Roll Yogi.
Shane grew up on the Gold Coast, living hard and partying hard. He was a landscape gardener who changed his life when he discovered yoga. A slow transition and big shifts in personal belief patterns has helped Shane rebuild in the person he is today.
We talk about men being able to be soft while retaining their masculinity, ingrained childhood fears.
