What happens when a corporate professional decides to take a bold step towards sobriety and ends up creating a lifeline for others? Meet Janet Gourand, the force behind World Without Wine. Janet's story is a fascinating one. After years in the corporate world across Europe and South Africa, she realized she needed to quit drinking but found limited support in South Africa. Rehab wasn’t her path, and AA didn’t resonate with her.
So, she took matters into her own hands, got sober through her own efforts, and attended a workshop in London. This journey sparked an idea—why not create her own workshops to help others like her? And that's exactly what she did. Janet now runs workshops in Cape Town, Johannesburg, and London, offering a safe space for people to moderate or quit drinking.
She also volunteers as an HR Tutor at TSIBA and balances her busy life with her family, including a chihuahua named June. In this episode, Janet opens up about her personal journey to sobriety and the birth of her transformative workshops and membership program. She shares candid conversations about the warning signs of alcohol addiction and the importance of self-assessment. Janet's compassionate approach offers practical advice and hope for those struggling with addiction.
Her work focuses on creating a new life beyond alcohol, helping individuals discover their true potential. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the transformative power of seeking help and taking steps towards recovery.
