In this episode, Ash and I have a good old chat in the studio celebrating our book release, How I Quit Alcohol, A Rock N Roll Guide To Sobriety.

We chat about that first year of sobriety and beyond, how much our life has changed and some of the challenges that we faced in early sobriety.

We also talk about why choosing a 12 month break is a great reset and why it's so important to have 100% commitment with your choices.

Why changing your self concept is also so important to create lasting and rewarding change.

Tune in for those juicy topics and much more...

This episode is without a doubt one of my all-time favorite conversations on the podcast! In this episode, I chat with the renowned meditation teacher, David Ji, who has guided millions of people on their journey to heal their hearts and embrace the power of meditation.

What We Discuss:

• Shedding What Doesn’t Serve Us: David and I explore the concept of letting go of the things in our lives that no longer serve us, viewing this as a form of rebirth or life rebranding.
• Who’s in Your Front Row: We dive into the importance of becoming aware of the people in your "front row"—those who directly influence your life—and why it’s crucial to surround yourself with those who truly support your choices and growth.
• Evaluating Your Circle: Take a moment to reflect on the five people or behaviors in your life and how they impact your feelings and well-being.
• The Power to Begin Again: David shares insights on giving yourself permission to start fresh, no matter where you are in life.
• The Power of Meditation: We chat about how meditation can transform your life, leading to more mindful and conscious decisions.
• 16-Second Meditation Practice: David also takes us through a simple yet powerful 16-second practice that can help you make more conscious choices—this one is a beauty!

In this solocast, I dive into the transformative power of the self check-in. Understanding and responding to the signals our body sends can be a game-changer in preventing ailments, avoiding poor decisions, and managing reactive behaviours. Through self-compassion and mindfulness, we can better equip ourselves to face life's challenges with grace and resilience.

Join me as I guide you through a simple yet powerful mindfulness practice designed to help you connect with yourself on a deeper level. Whether you're dealing with stress, uncertainty, or just need a moment of calm, this episode will provide you with the tools to tune into your body, listen to what it’s telling you, and respond with care.

I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be running a 7-day course called Connected live and online, starting on September 16. This course is designed to help you deepen your connection with yourself through mindfulness and self-compassion practices. Don't miss this opportunity to join a supportive community and take your personal growth journey to the next level!

Sign up here for the 7 day "Connected" course.
