Podcast rewind, this episode gives you permission to not feel obligated to do all the things around the holidays that you normally do 'just because it's family' or otherwise.

I discuss how you have free will and autonomy as an adult to decide if you do things or not.

You don't have to do anything you don't want to do.

And yes, some people won't like it and it's ok.

If you do decide to do it even though you don't like it, own that it was still your decision to make. You will feel more empowered and better about being there than telling yourself you have to suck it up because it's what's expected of you.

Learning how to start honoring yourself and doing things that are right for you is a process, take it slow, and watch how when you start honoring yourself, you feel better and will not need to escape with alcohol as much.

Also, I've re-opened my original Stop Over-drinking and Start Living 6-month coaching program!!!

Have you heard the phrase 'we can't do it alone?'

Well, you are in for a special treat today because two of my amazing clients agreed to join me today on the podcast and discuss the value and importance of community.

I just held a short retreat for a lovely group of women whom I have been working together with for the past 5 months. We have connected, we shared hard stories, we celebrated each other, we coached, and we healed, it was truly a transformative experience and it all came together in person, here in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

On the podcast we discussed how it's easier to be vulnerable in a group of women who share the same struggles vs family or friends, the benefits of communities where you are all working towards similar goals, what letting go of perfection can do for you and so much more!

I'm so thankful for Deborah and Julie's willingness to come on the podcast today, I hope you find this episode moving and encouraging to join a group or community to get the help you deserve!

Hi friends, in the wake of our latest political news I thought it might be good to remember what we can and can't control.

And you can apply what I am teaching here to any unexpected event or un-desired outcome in your life.

Tune in and listen to me explain:

1) Whatever you are feeling is OK

2) Decide how you want to show up for yourself today, regardless of how you feel

3) Remember NO ONE can dictate what you think/feel

4) Focus on the obstacle that is real and in front of you today and we will take it one day at a time

5) Nature is a good role model, go outside and let it show you

Also, let other people have their feelings.. you and your feelings are ok and so are theirs!

xo,

Angela
