Ever thought about hitting the reset button before the New Year? In this episode of the Alcohol-Free Lifestyle podcast, Victoria English, head coach at Alcohol-Free Lifestyle, makes a compelling case for why October is the perfect time to stop drinking and recharge your life.
Inspired by the viral TikTok trend 'The Winter Arc' popularised by Chloe Van Berkel, this episode explores how taking a break from alcohol for just three months can transform your life before the New Year even begins. Victoria discusses the concept of cognitive dissonance, particularly around the holidays, where alcohol ads paint a picture of joy and connection that often doesn't match reality.
She dives into how this disconnect can create stress and offers practical advice on how to bridge the gap between what's advertised and your real-life experiences. Victoria shares her own journey and how breaking free from the cycle of holiday drinking led to more meaningful and joyful celebrations. If you're tired of feeling pulled in different directions by social pressures and advertising, this episode offers a fresh perspective on reclaiming your holiday season.
You'll also get tips on how to create new traditions and find joy without alcohol. So, are you ready to redefine your relationship with alcohol and make this holiday season truly special?
