You won't hear me say it because maybe, just maybe I am shockable and that's a totally human way to be!

If I wasn't shockable, if I HAD seen it all, heard it all before I think I'd be a lot more knackered than I am!

Hello, darling heart, and welcome to the Drink Less, Live Better podcast.

This is the podcast that helps you to see that drinking less doesn't need to be stressful, lonely, or boring.

I'm your host, Sarah Williamson, and I decided to have a year alcohol free as a little life experiment and haven't looked back?

With my experience and training, I now help other people with their alcohol free or drink less adventures.

You can find out more and sign up to my 5 day drink less challenge at drink less, live better.com.

I'm here to tell you that you can relax, connect, and have fun without alcohol in your life.

Join me here each week to find out how.

Now I haven't recorded a podcast in the things you'll never hear me say series for a long time, so here is something you'll never hear me say.

You can't shock me, And yet I used to say that really regularly.

When I was working in youth offending I thought I was completely unshockable.

I thought I'd heard it all or seen it all before.

In fact, I might just have been a little bit jaded and a little bit run into the ground by that point.

I never say you can't shock me now because, actually, I do find myself shocked, upset, hurt by lots of the things that go on in my world.

I think my clients are incredibly courageous, and I would never ever do them the disservice of telling them that they can

or can't make me have any kind of reaction to any story that they tell me.

My clients are totally in control of their own thoughts, feelings and actions and, actually, they can't control mine.

We work together to come to a place of awareness,

gentle noticing and then acceptance of some of the things that are going on for them.

Those stories might feel very shocking, they might feel big, they might feel heavy, they might feel really unwieldy to a client

in any given moment, but we really gently look at what is going on, talk the stories through, discuss the feelings and the

thoughts associated with them, and gently, gently move on from that point.

We look at the places where action can be taken, and, of course, there are some places where action doesn't need to be taken at this precise moment.

In my 1st year of sobriety, at certain points I made being sober almost my full time job, it required so much time, so much

energy, so much attention, and it doesn't feel like that anymore.

It feels so much lighter, and that's because I have been able to bring alignment into so many different areas of my life.

I know now that I'm much more living in line with my core values.

I'm much more acting in accordance with who I am every single day, and it feels so much better like that.

So, yes, I don't know whether you can shock me or not.

You can give it a really good go.

I might bring my poker face or I might not.

I've certainly laughed with my clients and cried with my clients. My clients are so resourceful.

They absolutely, generally know the things that they can do to move forward from where they are right now, and whether I'm

shockable or not really doesn't matter to my clients.

Thank you so much for listening in this week.

You can check out the show notes on this or any other episode.

You'll see the link to a hidden podcast episode to help you with your 5 PM cravings, and you'll be able to read about my one to one coaching program.

If you look out on my social media channels, mostly Instagram and Facebook, you will see various speaking events that I am at this year.

I've started to advertise the summer ones but the autumn ones are under wraps at the moment.

You'll find in my bio link a link for the tickets to an event, mind, body, and spirit at Kensington Olympia, Well Energy in

London as well, and also the Wisdom on Wellness Festival.

I can't wait to see you at any one of these.

Do come back again next week, And, PS, I believe in you.
