Ep.124 Are you ready to ditch the alcohol? Meet Claire Owen the Soberholic
Are you one of the many that ditched the alcohol for a dry January this year, only to go straight back on it February?
One of the things I've noticed now I'm going through the menopause is the effect alcohol has on my mental wellbeing, it increases my anxiety levels and zaps my energy so I've cut right back. I still have the odd G & T but I can imagine ditching it all together at some point so I was very interested to talk with Claire Owen.
Meet Claire Owen , aka the Soberholic. Claire went from drinking 100 units a week (10 bottles of wine) to quitting and has never looked back! I know lots of women like myself that are going through the menopause or peri-menopause and alcohol is no longer working for them. So many of us continue to drink , partly out of habit and perhaps because it's so ingrained in our culture but what would it feel like to stop?
After volunteering in a recovery clinic, Claire retrained as a life coach; after being inspired to question her own relationship with alcohol after watching her good friend's health decline. She now supports women worldwide to take back control without judgement, shame or fear.
Claire's mission is to rebrand sober as the goal-seeking choice for women who desire more than a bottle of wine after another stressful day. Her service inspires women to put down the glass and aim for the life of their dreams.
Claire is now 4 years alcohol free and her husband's joined her too with almost 2 years alcohol free and she had no idea life could be so good without wine!
Food for thought!
