    What Truth Are You Avoiding? Amy’s Naked Life | E759
    Dec 20 2024
    What if the first step to change is just being honest with yourself? Amy grew up in a family where alcohol wasn’t a big part of life. She didn’t drink in high school and was teased for it. During college and law school, she began drinking to fit in. Later, wine became part of her career as a lawyer. Over time, she used alcohol to deal with stress, lack of sleep, and feelings of guilt as a mom. Hearing stories about other people’s drinking made Amy feel like her habit wasn’t a big deal because she wasn’t letting it affect her work. But after struggling with guilt, shame, and even suicidal thoughts, she knew something had to change. In this episode, Amy talks with Annie about her steps toward making lasting changes, what didn’t work, and how she found her passion for coaching others in the legal profession to rethink their relationship with alcohol. In this episode, Annie and Amy will discuss: - Growing up without alcohol - Getting teased for not drinking as a teenager - Drinking to fit in during college and law school - How wine became part of her work and social life - Using alcohol to deal with stress and lack of sleep - Struggling with shame, mom guilt, and suicidal thoughts - How the Alcohol Experiment changed Amy’s mindset - Why hearing stories about alcohol made her drink more - Amy’s attempts at drinking in moderation - The difference between quick relief and real growth - Creating new habits like walking and gratitude - Understanding the intentions behind drinking habits - Finding purpose through coaching - Helping others in the legal industry with their alcohol journey - Learning how alcohol affects the brain and body - Building stronger friendships beyond drinking - And other topics… Connect with Amy: Amy’s Website: https://www.reframingwellbeing.com/ Related Episodes: EP 88: Reader Question – Social Drinking – How Do I Muster the Willpower Not to Drink? https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-88-reader-question-social-drinking-muster-willpower-not-drink/ EP 158: Reader Question – How do you deal with stress without alcohol? https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-158-how-do-you-deal-with-stress-without-alcohol/ EP 718: Reader’s Question – Does Not Drinking Hurt Job Prospects? https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-718-readers-question-does-not-drinking-hurt-job-prospects/ Ready to take the next step on your journey?
