Journey Out of the Bottle
Journey Out of the Bottle – Bringing Awareness to the Myths, Stigmas & Untold Truths About Alcohol.
This is a A Renaissance Movement to Wake Up, Wise Up & Rise Up to the Fuckery of Alcohol!
Curated with topics that span fierce activism and awareness to elevated nurturing and healing, this podcast is a true fusion of spiritual awakening, ascension, activism, feminism, and humanism—flipping the world of alcohol on its head and exposing the myths, stigmas, and hidden truths behind drinking.
Once I gave up alcohol, my awakening took off at warp speed—like snapping out of a fever dream. Alcohol—and the entire facade around it—had kept me in a twilight slumber of control and fear, making my prescribed life more tolerable.
✨ Happy Hours. Mommy Wine Nights.
✨ Rosé All Day. Sunday Fun Day.
✨ Mimosa Brunches. The big glass of Cabernet after work.
It was marketed as a reward—the Elixir of Life. And I drank from that fountain daily.
I had no idea just how much it was fucking with my entire body, mind, spirit, and essence.
I was doing all the work—retreats, trainings, workshops, ceremonies, rituals, yoga, breathwork—chasing alignment, presence, happiness. But something was still blocking me from reaching my highest potential. And I refused to believe alcohol was the culprit.
I had built an entire life around it.
I was all-too-familiar with 12-step programs and the stigmas attached to that archaic institution. I didn’t want to live a life of punitive disempowerment, clinging to rules, white-knuckling my way through each day. I couldn’t fathom calling myself an alcoholic—after all, I hadn’t been diagnosed. I wasn’t drinking more than my social circle.
So why was it affecting me so much?
Why did I have to be punished—shoved into a label, sentenced to a life of deprivation—while the rest of the world kept drinking?
So… here we are.
This podcast and my coaching community, Journey Out of the Bottle, are about inspiration, liberation, and a full reservoir of resources to live a blissful, wildly sexy life sans alcohol.
And I will continuously provide proven yet unique tools for healing what alcohol covered up... because dealing with our lives is so much easier when our cognition and wits return (which, by the way, they do—and beautifully)!
🚀 No punitive, disempowering rules.
🚀 No being sober or serious.
We are here to LIVE IT UP, uplevel, and reach our highest potential—by finally following our intuitive hearts.
I don’t use the word sober—I am Alcohol Free! And I am wild, spontaneous, filled with joy (my neurotransmitters have returned to homeostasis!)—and I'm LOVING what is now clearly available to me.
The veil has been lifted, and I can now see all aspects of my life—and heal and nurture myself to WHOLENESS... simply by removing this one substance and the bullshit lies that come with it.
As humans, we are meant to experience perpetual states of altered consciousness. Every waking moment shifts our mood, energy, and emotions.
So let’s embrace the expansive, elevated, blissful states available to us—without poisoning ourselves.
Welcome to Journey Out of the Bottle....Let’s take this Epic Voyage Together!
