Ever wondered what life would be like without the haze of alcohol?
Imagine waking up every day with a clear head, more energy, and a pocket full of extra cash.
In Episode 10 Lynn Maltman spills the tea on her transformative journey of quitting alcohol for 90 days—and never looking back.
Intrigued? You should be.
In this eye-opening episode, hosts Sarah Kettel and Timothy R. Andrews sit down with Lynn Maltman, a brand partnerships and marketing consultant with a rich background in the hospitality industry.
But they're not talking business; they're sharing Lynn's personal journey of going alcohol-free.
Why Listen?
If you've ever wondered what's stopping you from taking a break from alcohol then this is a must listen.
Is it the fear of societal judgment, or perhaps the comfort of a familiar habit?
Whatever it is, Lynn's story is a compelling testament to the power of taking control of one's life. After all, you've got nothing to lose and everything to gain, right?
Listen and be prepared to be challenged on your use of alcohol without being lectured.
The Trigger Moment: Lynn shares a poignant moment when she realised her relationship with alcohol had become problematic. Waiting for a beer barrel to be changed at a festival, she felt an unsettling agitation. It was a wake-up call.
The Grey Area of Drinking: Lynn introduces us to the concept of the "grey area" of drinking, a space where many of us reside—neither alcoholics nor teetotallers. She challenges the binary perception of drinking habits.
The 90-Day Challenge: Initially terrified, Lynn took up a 90-day alcohol-free challenge with One Year No Beer. She found the experience so transformative that she extended it to a full year.
The Power of Journaling: Lynn kept a video diary throughout her journey, describing it as the "cheapest therapy ever." It helped her confront her fears and document her progress.
The Benefits: From mental clarity to weight loss and financial savings, Lynn enumerates the myriad benefits of going alcohol-free. She even mentions the health benefits, such as reduced risk of heart problems, stroke, and certain cancers.
Resources and Alternatives: Lynn recommends several books, podcasts, and even alcohol-free alternatives like Strykk's "Not Vodka, Not Gin, and Not Rum." She encourages people to be curious and explore these options.
