What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? Mary Wagstaff, a holistic alcohol coach, brings a fresh perspective on the journey to sobriety by challenging the popular trend of 'Quit Lit'. In this episode, she shares her personal experiences and insights from nearly two decades of drinking while being a wellness practitioner. Mary emphasises that simply consuming more recovery content isn't enough to change one's relationship with alcohol.
Instead, she argues for the importance of taking actionable steps and creating a living plan that aligns with one's energy and values. Mary introduces her 'five shifts process', which focuses on moving from passive consumption to active transformation. This involves deep self-reflection, curiosity, and a willingness to explore new perspectives. By doing so, individuals can begin to rewrite their stories and build new neural pathways that support a life free from alcohol.
Mary also highlights the significance of having a supportive community and a third-party perspective to help navigate this journey. With her engaging storytelling and practical advice, Mary invites listeners to embrace the possibilities of wild sobriety and discover their truest selves beyond alcohol.
