Episode 26: Intentional Growth: beyond alcohol (part 1)




Intentional Growth. This alcohol-free journey is one of the most intense periods of self-development and personal growth that one might ever experience. Many of us, me included, come to appreciate and even enjoy the intense learning phase. So, if you don’t want to fixate on alcohol but you want to keep growing and learning, what comes next?

This episode is a bit of a departure as Teri shares how she does ‘the work’ to keep learning and growing on the other side of drinking. This is Part 1 of a two-part series where Teri shares resources and tips to help you stay connected and centered as you create this alcohol-free life!

It’s not one and done – even after we stop drinking it takes intention and dedication to keep awareness and curiosity front and center. We don’t need to stay fixated on not drinking, but, it is incredibly valuable to stay focused on creating an amazing life. From books, podcasts and thought leaders, Teri shares her go-to favorites (at least for now!).
