Lead on Purpose with James Laughlin
We quit alcohol and it changed our lives BONUS
In this bonus episode, Caroline and I reflect on five years alcohol-free.
We’re not here to preach—just to share what changed for us: mentally, physically, emotionally, and financially.
In this conversation, we reflect on:
- Why we chose to stop drinking during the chaos of lockdown
- What alcohol was really doing to our minds, bodies, and relationship
- The fear of losing our identity and social life without it
- How our sleep, energy, weight, and finances all transformed
- The challenges that come with giving it up—and the gifts that come after
Whether you’re sober curious or just rethinking your habits, this one’s for you.
