Self enquiry? What on earth are Sam and Ellie on about? This week we're diving a dive into the power of listening to ourselves (from the mind to the body and all in between). Why? Because the more in tune you are with what's going on 'inside', the more beautiful your life will become!
This week we explore the power of self-talk and how to befriend the voice in our head! So many of us are used to living with an inner voice that can be less than helpful at times. This isn't just about living with more peace, but about learning how to tap into a fully inspired life. See you there!
So here we are with part 2 of 'self awareness'! We'll explore what do with what you've seen and what this means for the journey ahead!
Join us for the first of our 'exploring self' series. First up, self awareness. Awareness had to be the be starting point for this exploration, as awareness is where everything starts! You're also going to find out why is obsessed with a big book about space, and why sam shouldn't be in charge of naming shows! Let's go!
Now you might think we've lost it (and it's possible) but this week we're cueing up something really special for you all! The next few weeks are going to focus on one of the most common things Ellie and Sam hear when coaching... 'Why am I so f*cked up', 'I'm never gonna figure this out' (or words to that effect), and what better way to do that than a story about a cockerel? Intrigued? You should be!
How many times have you asked yourself this on the journey? Whether you're on the alcohol-free journey or something that seems completely unrelated we so often get caught in the idea that we 'should' be further along than we are! But should we? Or is there something magical to see right where you find yourself?
It's a truly special one this week team as Jamie Smart joins us to talk about living with Clarity! Jamie is one of Sam's mentors and if you've been touched by any of the conversations on this podcast, Jamie played a part in that! No matter where you are, how hopeless or different you feel, you're all connected to what we talk about on today's podcast and it turns out that's a very good thing!
Sometimes it's not until the sh*t hits the fan that we realise how much our AF life is supporting us or how far we really have come! Join us for a raw, vulnerable and honest podcast where Emma returns to not only share her wisdom but an awesome offer for you all!
Yep, we're going there! What to do when there is someone in your life who is being an as*hole. Perhaps they're not listening or trying to force their opinions on you. It doesn't matter the circumstance, this conversation will open up an opportunity for you to see things differently and step into your power!
Join Sam and Ellie for a discussion around one the most powerful tools we can add to our alcohol free arsenal - lengthening! If you're wondering what on earth 'lengthening' is, you better get your ears around this one. But it's fair to say that this is a powerful thing to explore if there is ANY habit or addiction in your life that you would like to release!
Join us for one of our most requested topics ever! A discussion all around ADHD & its impact on addiction, with a leading expert in the field. Sam and James explore what ADHD is, what it isn't, and sort the facts from fiction so you don't have to. This has been a long time coming and will help you sort through a lot of the misinformation and bias which has been spread by the sensationalist media over the past few decades.
We've only gone and done it again! Yep, we're exploring two more awesome reasons to be alcohol free. There isn't much else to say other than, get your ears on this!!!
This week we're on a journey into the deepest layers of your beliefs, and discover that things might not be quite as they seem from the surface! If there is something you would dearly love to change in your life, from stopping drinking to feeling more joy, then there is something here for you 🙏!
Knowing how to change something 'intellectually' just isn't the same as it truly landing and shifting for good. So often this feeling of 'I should know better by now' brings up feelings of guilt and shame and keeps us locked in our patterns of drinking, eating, or whatever it may be! Come hop on our magic carpet as we explore some parts of your internal landscape you may not have seen before!
How long do New Year's resolutions actually last for most people? Do you even set them? It's interesting that something that is so common can so often left up long forgotten even before the end of January! But it doesn't have to be this way. It's a bold claim but in rethinking what we mean and choosing again, we can open up a world of possibility for the world ahead. Come see!
Happy New Year one and all! And Happy Dry January for those getting involved! There are so many ways to approach this month, and we thought we'd share our top tips to make it even more special. We do not hold back in this value packed episode. Be sure to share!!!
This week the inspirational Tabbin Almond Joins us for the show. Tabbin's story is truly inspirational and it goes to show that whatever life throws at us, we're never down and out! From health to relationships Tabbin has come through some of life's great challenges and found true alcohol freedom. This is one to bookmark.
It's Christmas!!! So wherever you are, and whatever you're up to, get your Santa hat on and come and join the party 🎄🎄🎄! If you're looking to add the icing to the Christmas cake, with a little festive cheer, we got you! Ellie also goes a bit 'crackers' (see what I did there?). This certainly ain't your normal Christmas show!
Conflict! It's something many of us avoid (or desperately try to), especially at the the times of year when we're celebrating and hanging out with our family. But despite the best of intentions, many of us innocently repeat past conflict patterns in our relationships. Perhaps it's 'that conversation' that always happens or the way we always get triggered by a certain someone (or the way they cook the turkey!). Well, today we take conflict head-on, and you might be surprised by what we find. Curi...
It's getting cold, Christmas is around the corner, and many of us might be having some 'thoughts' and feelings about this time of year (from all parts of the emotional spectrum). If you'd like to turn what can be a daunting time into a time of magic and joy, this podcast is for you.
We're releasing something different into the world this week! Think of it like an unreleased album that's sadly been gathering dust, but it's suddenly time for in to go out into the world. It's a tale of a tennis racket which involved a trip to the hospital, connection and a lot of learning.
This week Luke (One of Sam's best pals) joins us on the show to share his journey to becoming alcohol-free. Sam and Luke go way back (they met in Poland 10 years ago) so not only is this interesting because of Luke's inspirational story, but also for anyone who wants insider knowledge on what it is really like to hang out with Sam every day!
This week we take on the topic of 'negative' emotions and how to process them. At the heart of the discussion is one powerful question. Are 'negative' emotions really negative? Could a new perspective not only shine a light on what to do when they inevitably come along but also allow us to feel peace while experiencing emotional pain? It's a biggy!
This week we're joined by the amazing Amanda Thomson, CEO, and founder of 'Noughty' AF drinks (yes there is such a thing as alcohol-free wine that tastes good!) for a really interesting and important discussion. This isn't just about replicating taste and offering a tool for AF socializing, but also the opportunity to change the alcohol industry and society at large to the benefit of all!
This week our good pal, Lynnie McGivern joins us to talk about her journey through This Naked Mind's 'The Path' and how she found true freedom from alcohol. For anyone who has been considering hopping into a program for extra support on the AF journey, this is one awesome podcast to tune into! Lynnie is a true inspiration and she is destined for big things!
As Sober October and alcohol-free 'challenges' grow in popularity, there are some really obvious benefits to taking some time away from booze. From better sleep to less stress there are so many benefits from a break but are there dangers too? Can we use these periods of time as a way of proving 'all is well' for another year, when there could be some far better on the menu? Come and join us to find out how to get the most from a month away from alcohol!
It's a big topic this week - boundaries, and how to set them. You know the scene, someone asks you to do something, and you know with your whole body the right answer for you is a strong 'no', and yet, a different word comes out of your mouth. So if you know it's time to make a stand for yourself but you don't quite know how to, tune in!
Winter is closer and the leaves are changing colour, yep, it's the change of seasons. Sobriety has it's seasons too, and understanding how to navigate them can be the difference between feeling like we're surviving or thriving alcohol free (even when the nights are drawing in!). Come and join us as we have a heartwarming chat with Kate Bailey about her amazing new book and learn to embrace the rhythm of change that is all around us.
Boredom. It's a fact of life and we just have to live with it when it comes - or do we? Is it possible that there is more to boredom than we think there is? An opportunity for something great perhaps - or deep learning? That's what this week is all about!
We love this mini-series! It's always a laugh to record and there are so many amazing reasons to explore together. We do things a little differently this week - come and find out how... (plus you can find out Sam's hair care routine).
