Kate Bee is a former journalist, and the founder of The Sober School. I’m excited to have her on the show to talk about embracing sobriety, and how she works with women to create an alcohol free life they love. Growing up in England, Kate started drinking as a teen (where the legal drinking age for beer is 18 in a pub), and it was a habit that she continued well into her working life after college.
In this episode Kate Bee and I talk about:
- Her early love of writing, arts and crafts, blogging, and graphic design
- Letting go of habits that are holding you back
- The current culture of drinking, and how it is pervasive
- What to do when you worry that you are having too much alcohol, regularly
- Why people numb out, and why alcohol is a popular choice
- The difference between social drinking and alcoholism
- The many good changes that come out of making a shift to being sober
- Learning to parent and mother yourself; how to treat yourself with love
- Are you really feeling true emotions when you are drinking, or is everything numbed out a little
- Jumpstarting your joy by focusing on what you are good at, exercising instead of drinking, and self care in the form of turning off your email and leaving your desk
