Drinking alcohol is portrayed as tons of fun, socially acceptable, and the norm. But should it be the norm? Do you struggle with alcohol? Maybe not on a deep level to where it affects your day to day activities, but enough for you to notice some differences in your performance at work and everyday life? Does giving up alcohol mean no more fun in life?

In this episode I talk with Kate Bee who knew she needed a break from the alcohol. Turning to Alcoholics Anonymous seemed to be her only choice, but she found that she wasn’t in the category of it controlling her life, and found that there were no other groups or organizations dealing with the topic. This inspired Kae B to start her own mission to help people who are in the in between stages of drinking recreationally and an alcoholic. So she started the Sober School.
Questions I asked:
- How did you come to start the sober school?
- What was your turning point?
- How do you know when you are drinking too much.
- Why do we socially drink?
- How does our drinking affect others.
Topics Discussed:
- How to have fun without alcohol.
- Recognizing when alcohol begins to interfere with your life.
- Feeling like you are standing out if you don’t drink.
- How to politely not drink in a crowd.
- Shame and alcohol.
Quotes from the show:
- “You don’t need to let things get bad before you get help.” @thesoberschool
- “Is this good enough to stay in my life?” @thesoberschool
- “You have to be careful with the story you are telling yourself.” @thesoberschool
- “We all need a bit of tough love sometimes.” @thesoberschool

Do you struggle with how to reveal your authentic self? It’s easy for us to hide behind our insecurities or fears and not step out into the things we know we are called to do. That is a huge struggle, but if you know there is something within you that is your purpose, you have to keep going. When you are living in your gifts you are living out your true self.
Do you struggle with feeling stuck and trapped where you are? Are you so focused on the possibility of failure that you can’t see how to make that first step? Many of us hold back from pursuing our dreams because we don’t want to take the risk of failure. But is the risk of never changing an even bigger risk?
Do you ever find yourself second guessing yourself? You have some ideas or dreams, but then reality hits, and you ask the question, “Who am I to do this?” Doubts creep in along with fears of the unknown. We tend to live in that constant state of fears and because of it remain exactly where we are. But what we were to break out of that fear? What if we were to make steps today that would lead us to a brighter and better future version of ourselves?
Are you wanting to grow your audience or build your brand? Do you struggle with letting people know what you do or positioning yourself as an expert? It is difficult shifting your mindset and stepping into who you know you are called it be. But it’s not impossible. We have THE perfect person today to talk to us about growing our authority and building a presence online.
Do you struggle with people pleasing? Have you found yourself constantly doing things you don’t want to do for fear of disappointing others? We’ve probably all experienced that fear of letting people down from time to time. But are we doing ourselves along with others a disservice by giving in and not setting boundaries?
Do you feel afraid of something? I mean something that just terrifies you to the core? Is it something that you want to do but just can’t bring yourself to do because of the fear? Let’s face it, we can get so stuck in one place because we are crippled by fear. Whether it be of others opinions or something on a deeper level that we carry inside.
