Listen in on a live coaching episode with a new client, Tona, a 58-year-old woman who has overcome menopause early in her life, has created a healthy vegan lifestyle, and has tried off-and-on with a sober lifestyle. In the past, there was never a set commitment to sobriety, and many factors that would knock her off-course. She is determined and ready to make this time different!

We talk about symptoms of alcohol dependency, how to manage social settings, what to tell people in our inner-circles, as well as overall life balance and setting goals. We talk about motivation, rewards, self-care and managing early sobriety. Mid-way through the episode, I walked Tona through a powerful exercise to help her set down the "bag of boulders" that was failed past attempts at sobriety, shame and self-criticism. 

After the exercise, Tona makes a new commitment to sobriety. At the end of the episode, be sure to listen for the update on Tona's first 5 days of her commitment!
