Rethinking Alcohol: Coach Victoria English on Shifting Cultures and Personal Empowerment
If you look at billboards, if you look at commercials, if you look at magazine ads, tv commercials, if you look at all those things, yeah, you might believe that everyone's doing it.
Ever wondered how societal norms around alcohol are evolving? In this episode of the Alcohol-Free Lifestyle podcast, Coach Victoria English joins host James Swanwick to explore the changing landscape of alcohol culture. They delve into how marketing and societal expectations have shaped our drinking habits, often promising more than they deliver. Coach Victoria shares her personal journey, highlighting the importance of connection and memories and how alcohol can sometimes cloud these precious moments.
The conversation kicks off with a look at how society's view of alcohol has shifted over time. Victoria points out that marketers have long sold us on the idea that alcohol is essential for fun and social bonding. But as we grow older, many of us realize that these promises fall short.
Victoria's story is a testament to this realization; she reflects on her college years, seeking connection through alcohol, only to find a more fulfilling path as she distanced herself from drinking. A key takeaway from this episode is the power of independent thinking. Victoria encourages listeners to make choices that align with their own values and goals, rather than following the crowd. She emphasizes that it's okay to question societal norms and decide what's best for you and your family.
This episode isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about taking control of your life and making decisions that foster genuine happiness and well-being. Victoria also introduces Project 90, a program designed to help those over 30 gain long-term control over their relationship with alcohol. James adds to the discussion by talking about his liver support product, Loving Liver, which aims to help detoxify the liver after years of alcohol use.
