If you've become introspective about the role that alcohol plays in your life, and you're seeking support to build a life with less or none of it, then join me for a chat with Andy Smith, founder of "Sober In Seven". His programme has effectively supported hundreds of thousands of people discover what life is like without alcohol as a stakeholder, because he's been there and is no longer. Plus, he's just fun to listen to, has terrific stories to share, and is one of the most generous people walking.

Next week: Shelley Henkel. Shelley, amongst many other things, is qualified in Somatic Based, Trauma-Informed and Responsive Yoga, allowing her a deep understanding of the neurological impact from trauma as well as how to release built-up emotion, pain, and anxiety through connection to the body. Embarking on Andy's programme or not, Shelley's insights will be invaluable for your success.

In this episode Katy Mixter, a passionate advocate for personal growth and purpose-driven careers, gave me the gift of her time. Katy shares what it was like for her to seek purpose while exploring fields like corporate sustainability and disaster reconstruction.

We had a great time considering the power of personal development in shaping a career aligned with your true purpose: Embracing our unique qualities, overcoming obstacles, tuning into what our emotions want us to know, and a quick stop at the intersected and dynamic relationship between fear, passion, and motivation.

Katy is wicked smart and I bet she's read more books than you. If you'd like to find out more, she has been generous enough to share her access channels:
