Present and Sober

28/12/2021Present and Sober Podcast Episode 30
'Beyond Alcohol'Annie Grace is the founder and friendly face behind 'This Naked Mind'. Her books & podcast were key in setting Ellie and I free from the clutches of alcohol & this podcast is heavily influenced by her groundbreaking work. Many of you will have heard Annie talking expertly about the reality of alcohol use previously, so on this episode, we wanted to provide the opportunity for Annie to talk about some different topics (first and foremost because we're super interested to know her thoughts on them) stopping drinking is just the beginning of this amazing journey after all! From abundance mindset to human connection, we cover it all here - come join us! Annie grew up outside Aspen, Colorado, in a one-room log cabin without running water or electricity. Having discovered a passion for marketing, Annie Grace earned a Masters of Science (Marketing) and dove into corporate life. As the youngest vice president in a multinational company at the age of 26, her drinking career began in earnest. At 35, in a global C-level marketing role, she was responsible for marketing in 28 countries; she was drinking almost two bottles of wine a night. Knowing she needed a change but unwilling to submit to a life of deprivation and stigma, Annie Grace embarked on a journey to painlessly gain control of alcohol -- for her that process resulted in no longer wanting to drink. Never happier, she left her executive role to write and share This Naked Mind with the world. In her free time, she loves to ski, travel (26 countries and counting), and enjoy her beautiful family. Annie Grace lives with her husband and three children in the Colorado mountains.What you will learn in this episode:

For many of us on the alcohol-free journey, the words ' self-love' make us feel 'funny' or downright uncomfortable - I mean, what do they even mean, right? Loving others is something we can work with, but ourselves? If this is you, you're not alone, which is why we know you'll resonate with the third part of Megan's incredible journey home to herself.

13/12/2022Present and Sober Podcast Episode 80Turning Conflict into CuriosityConflict! It's something many of us avoid (or desperately try to), especially at the the times of year when we're celebrating and hanging out with our family. But despite the best of intentions, many of us innocently repeat past conflict patterns in our relationships. Perhaps it's 'that conversation' that always happens or the way we always get triggered by a certain someone (or the way they cook the turkey!). Well, today we take conflict head-on, and you might be surprised by what we find. Curious? You should be!
What You'll learn in this Episode:

• How most of us think about and how to avoid it (5.00)
• How controlling others is NOT the name of the game
• What's getting in the way of a wonderful Christmas? (10.00)
• How a lot of this is about us not 'them'
• How to shift conflict into curiosity (29.00)

And now for that disclaimer...Nothing on the Present & Sober podcast, including Ellie, Sam's and our guest's opinions, is a substitute for medical advice. Don’t stop drinking suddenly if you’re physically dependent on alcohol. Seek help for any withdrawal symptoms from a medical professional.

This week Karla Adkins joins us to talk about her journey through addiction and cirrhosis to joy and healing shame. It would be an understatement to say that this is an important episode so you'll just have to trust us and tune in! Karla is on a mission to normalize not drinking and to help people make the shift from feeling shame to being courageous. After a life-altering event, her perspective on life changed, and through that experience, she created a safe, judgement-free zone where people can talk about their alcohol fears without being labeled. Karla's new book 'And She Came Tumbling Down' is available on Kindle now (Amazon), and will be available in paperback on September 7th on Amazon and her website - karlaadkins.com!09/08/2022Present and Sober Podcast Episode 62Karla Adkins: What You'll learn in this Episode:
