Feeling the pressure and stress at executive levels and in society? The concept of anxiety is all too common. Join me as I discuss this with Chrystal, who shares her journey through anxiety, panic attacks, and the negative impact of binge drinking on her mental health. #SobrietyJourney
Chrystal bravely opens up about how people often use alcohol to cope with anxiety and toxic relationships, only to find that it creates more problems. But the rewarding experience of helping clients shift their mindset and identity, leading to positive changes and a sobriety journey, is truly inspiring. #BreakTheCycle
We delve into the shift from victimhood to hope, and the ability to renew minds, indicating a direction towards cognitive therapy in the industry. The physical changes in clients after stopping drinking are remarkable—better health, energy, sleep, reduced anxiety, and improved complexion. #RenewYourMind
The positive impact of sobriety on physical appearance and energy levels is incredible, with a focus on improved mental health and overall well-being. It’s a powerful reminder that there is strength and beauty in the journey towards sobriety. #PowerOfSobriety
Ever wondered about the difference between coaching and counseling? Chrystal and I discuss the distinctions, emphasizing how coaching is about creating a vision and being an accountability partner, while counseling is for dealing with past issues. It’s about renewal, not just healing. #Transformation
We also touch upon the lack of a filter and discernment caused by substance use leading to negative outcomes and unpredictable behavior. How do we stay the course after quitting alcohol? Chrystal highlights the principles of maintaining God first and seeking mentorship. #GuidedByFaith
Both Chrystal and I believe that personal growth and mindset matter more than the number of sober days. It’s a journey towards something new and different. Chrystal offers group coaching for maintaining sobriety and 1-on-1 mentorships, guiding clients through purpose and sobriety. #FindYourPurpose
Speaking from personal experience, we share our journeys with alcohol, toxic relationships, and resistance to being labeled as alcoholics. As coaches, we fill the gap for individuals in the “gray area” of alcohol use disorder, offering mentorship, support, and mindset shifts to break the cycle. #BreakTheStigma
The startling reality of using alcohol to cope with anxiety, social settings, identity issues, and mental health struggles is a powerful reminder of the widespread usage and social acceptance of alcohol. We need to create awareness and understanding for a new future. #EndStigma
Lastly, Chrystal and I discuss resistance to paying for coaching, particularly among Christians, and the fear of seeking help for drinking problems. Accountability, spiritual growth, and the financial cost of excessive alcohol consumption are essential considerations. #InvestInYourself
