Does Alcohol-Free Life Get Better?

Does alcohol-free life get better, or does the early glow eventually fade? Martha spent 25 years in the wine business, and she's back to share why her alcohol-free life has never once felt ho-hum. Martha first shared her story on EP 267 Naked Life Story – Martha. Now she sits down with Coach Hayley to talk about what's happened since. She explains how one better question changed everything, how she brought her love of food, wine and hospitality into the world of alcohol-free drinks, and why people from inside the industry now reach out to her for coaching. She also takes us to her first all-night rave in Paris, explains why sensory pleasure turned out to be a form of mindfulness, and shares the question she'd invite anyone starting out to ask. Why losing her identity as the go-to wine resource was Martha's biggest fear The question that replaced "Do you think I drink too much?" and changed everything How she doubled down on what she loves about food, wine and hospitality, without the alcohol What an all-night rave in Paris taught her about how often our brains get it wrong Why paying attention to your senses is a form of mindfulness that can help with cravings Why a break from drinking should feel like a pleasure, not a punishment "I have not stopped for one minute being in love with this freedom." — Martha Episode page: https://thisnakedmind.com/does-alcohol-free-life-get-better-where-are-they-now-ep-956/ Ready to take the next step?
