THIS is the magic place where doubt, hope and action meet! Let's find JOY and COLOUR on the other side of alcohol! We don't have to hit rock bottom, we're allowed to want something different and we CAN choose to improve our lives from this point onwards. ​​Sarah was 40 and reconsidering her relationship with alcohol. ​ ​​She was tired and overwhelmed; she'd got a lot on her mind and a glass of wine or a G and T at the end of the day seemed like a treat or escape but... deep down she knew she wasn't doing herself any favours with this habit. ​ ​​Are you thinking about drinking less? ​ Sarah bri...

25. Alcohol and self-judgement 21.10.2021

Oh I used to be such a div when I was drunk and I COULDN'T ever understand why people would choose not to drink at a party.

21. People pleasing and alcohol 23.09.2021

Saying 'Yes' when other people offer you an alcoholic drink when you don't want one is just one of the many ways I used to people please. I didn't want anyone else to feel any of my discomfort. Do you say 'Yes' so you don't have to explain yourself to other people? Now is the moment to call TIME on that behaviour!

20. Are you making this more complicated than it needs to be? 16.09.2021

17. Alcohol and the summer holidays - How can you make better choices? 26.08.2021

I used to change up my drinking routine in the summer (and what I mean is I drank more alcohol, more often, over longer periods of time)! I said I was drinking to relax when in fact Summer is the least stressful time of my year - why did it take me so long to realise that doesn't make sense!

13. Feeling your feelings when you're alcohol free 29.07.2021

12. How can you get comfortable socialising alcohol free? 22.07.2021

I was afraid of socialising sober, I thought I wouldn’t have anything to talk about, the conversation would lull, there’d be no raucous laughter and definitely no hilarious stories of the night before to share the following morning. None of that turned out to be true, of course! Coaching with Sarah - All details HERE Book a call to see if coaching is for you HERE Join my email club HERE Buy the be...

8. We're human beings not human doings! 24.06.2021
