Let’s Get Fulfilled as Fuck
In my 39th year, I began to completely re-evaluate my relationship with alcohol. It was feeling strained for a couple of years and as I felt my 40th birthday inch closer and closer I kept having realizations that I might want to remove it from my life. Over a year’s worth of whispers came to a scream in early February 2024 when the universe started shouting at me through signs and synchronicities to take this desire seriously and take a real break.
Declaring myself alcohol-free allowed me to almost instantaneously up-level into the next phase of my life. It was like a fog had lifted and blocks I had felt for years were falling away and every day I woke up feeling free. I dove into the sober curious world and by the end of March, I had enrolled in a program to get five certifications that will help me guide others on their own path to finding fulfillment alcohol-free.
This blog will give you helpful tips and tricks, useful information, and motivation you need to reach your goals. I will also share my own journey of alcohol-free empowerment along the way. As I publish this I am 138 days free from alcohol. And these have been some of the best weeks of my life.
A few years ago when I was first a new mom I declared I would get to know myself better and it was motherhood that really brought me here. It is all too easy to fall down the Instagram rabbit hole of mommy wine culture and the ‘do it all’ style of motherhood while drinking that just doesn’t seem to happen that way in real life. I found myself stuck in this drinking lifestyle, doing what I had always been used to, all while longing to be the mother I wanted to be. It took me years to realize it was alcohol keeping me feeling like shit and holding me back from finding any space in my day for my hopes and dreams. It was kids, work, and evening wine time that my days revolved around. And none of those funny reels are about how difficult it is to parent a baby and/or toddler hungover as fuck early in the morning. Over time I realized my evening drinking habit was not at all in alignment with what I wanted for my life, for my children, or for my marriage.
It feels wonderful to sit here and tell you there is hope. There is a different way. I have never felt so fulfilled or more connected to my purpose in my life. You can live a life free from alcohol and even better, what if it gets to be easy?
