Have you ever felt shackled by the weight of cultural norms, especially when it comes to the role alcohol plays in our lives? This week's podcast peels back the curtain on the transformative journey of sobriety with my inspiring guest, Suzanne Frear. Suzanne's remarkable transition from corporate banking to a career that sings to her soul demonstrates the power of releasing oneself from the chains of alcohol. She shares her story of awakening to a life reclaimed from the haze of habitual drinking, offering insights into the tools that helped her through the early days of sobriety and the strength discovered in breaking away from societal expectations.

Navigating social waters without the crutch of a cocktail in hand can be daunting, but it's also an opportunity for profound personal growth. In our candid discussion, we explore the varied reactions from friends and the journey to unwavering self-belief. The chapter on embracing change and pursuing creative passions is a testament to the courage required in stepping into entrepreneurship, where Suzanne and I share our experiences of self-doubt, exhilarating freedoms, and the little joys found along the way. I hope our conversation will encourage you to harness the same determination as you consider your own pivot towards a life of intention and creativity.

Finally, we address the creeping sense of monotony that can all too easily sneak into our lives. Whether it's the repetitive cycle of an unfulfilling job or the challenges of early parenthood, we provide strategies to reignite personal growth and break free from autopilot existence.  Join us on this episode for a hearty dose of inspiration to live a life brimming with mischief and meaning, defying the mediocre every step of the way.

Have you ever felt trapped by the daily grind and responsibilities, shrunk yourself to 'fit in' or followed the rules then realised they didn't bring you the success or happiness you'd been promised? Tick, tick and tick. My life had plateaued, my unused potential was wasting away and I felt powerless to change anything. I wanted to escape but instead of running away, I decided that ordinary is optional, and I could DECIDE to live authentically, put FUN back on the agenda and do more of the things that made me feel alive. This podcast is one of them and through these conversations I'd love nothing more than to be able to help you do the same!
