When I learned how to be strong- and again another huge aspect of the martial arts was learning how to be mentally strong- so it actually gave me the mental and emotional strength and resiliency to change my life.
Imagine trading million-dollar wine deals for a serene life in the Tasmanian wilderness. That’s exactly what Barbara Longue did. Once a high-flying executive in the wine industry, Barbara now runs a meditation and retreat center from the heart of a forest overlooking the ocean. In this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff sits down with Barbara to uncover her remarkable journey from the hustle of corporate life to the tranquility of meditation and self-discovery.
Barbara shares how a life-changing accident made her rethink her priorities, leading her to sell her wine consulting business after 35 years. She dives into the perils of alcohol addiction, especially in an industry where wine flows freely, and how guilt can weigh heavily on busy professionals. Through martial arts and meditation, Barbara found the mental strength and peace she needed to rebuild her life. But it’s not just about personal healing.
Barbara also discusses her commitment to conscious capitalism, helping business owners grow their companies while staying true to their values. She emphasizes that achieving everything you want takes conscious effort, whether it’s learning to sit in peace or applying your principles to your business. For anyone struggling with addiction or seeking a more meaningful life, Barbara’s story is a testament to the power of transformation.
She invites listeners to visit the Vortex Healing Center in Tasmania, where they can experience the beauty of nature and the peace it brings. Tune in to be inspired by Barbara Longue’s journey from wine mogul to meditation mentor.
