For many of us, it becomes easy to reach for a glass of wine (or two!) when we need to deal with or escape from the stress of caring and giving so much of ourselves to other people. We also have to deal with peer pressure and a society that somehow makes you feel like you\u2019re less of a person if you stop drinking alcohol.\nBut, guess what? It\u2019s okay if you don\u2019t drink.\nIn this episode, bestselling author and health coach Rebecca Weller talks about her journey towards sobriety. She shares inspiring nuggets of wisdom about creating non-negotiable barriers for self care. The importance of taking a break. Overcoming the anxiety and fears associated with sobriety. Choosing the right people to surround yourself with. Strategies to build a better relationship with yourself, and how your journey back to finding yourself again changes before and after sobriety.\nTOPICS WE DISCUSSED INCLUDE:\n\nIntroducing Rebecca Weller (02:36)\n\nNon-negotiable self care practice: start slowly and no devices in the bedroom (04:55)\n\nYou take on the information and opinion you see on social media\u00a0(07:27)\n\nHave media breaks even though it can be terrifying (08:10)\n\nIndulgent self care: time (12:09)\n\nCome back to yourself and sit in the quietness (14:12)\n\nSelf care is even more crucial when you are caring for someone else (14:55)\n\nWhy am I so afraid to slow down, take a break, and rest?
