This episode delves into topics surrounding alcohol, which may be sensitive or triggering for some listeners. Listener discretion is advised.
Could ditching the drink be the doorway to a life more authentic and fulfilling? In this episode of I AM HUMAN, I interview Amanda Kuda, author of Unbottled Potential: Break Up With Alcohol and Breakthrough to Your Best Life, about why and how alcohol can be stopping us from reaching our highest potential and living our best lives. We talk about emotions, authenticity and how learning to sit with the ups and downs makes you a more resilient person. This is a fantastic episode if you are sober curious, but it applies to anyone who feels that they have a habit that’s holding them back from living a life they desire.
Together, we traverse the landscape of our drinking culture, with Amanda's personal account of sobriety shedding light on the transformative effects of living without alcohol. Our conversation doesn't shy away from the emotional complexities untangled in the process, revealing the unspoken freedom and potential that awaits on the other side of the 'sober curious' movement.
