Summary

Andrea Owen is an author, mentor, and professional certified life coach who helps high-achieving women let go of perfectionism, control, and isolation and choosing courage and confidence instead. She has helped thousands of women manage their inner-critic to create loving connections and live their most kick-ass life. She is the proud author of How To Stop Feeling Like Shit: 14 Habits That Are Holding You Back From Happiness which has been translated into 16 languages, as well as her inaugural book, 52 Ways to Live a Kick-Ass Life: BS Free Wisdom to Ignite Your Inner Badass and Live the Life You Deserve. When she’s not juggling her full coaching practice or hosting retreats, Andrea is busy competing in triathlons, chasing her 11-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter or making out with her husband, Jason. She is also a retired roller derby player having skated under the name “Veronica Vain”. Andrea is a returning guest. I specifically asked her to come back to the show to talk my in-depth on a topic we didn’t have time to dive into in her first interview here - her alcohol use, abuse, and recovery.  Alcohol misuse among women is at an all-time high - because the billion dollar alcohol industry (run by men) is marketing wine to women as a daily coping mechanism. This is problematic is so many ways. Regardless of your relationship with alcohol, I think you’ll learn something from this episode. Andrea is sober and I have 1-2 drinks on a regular basis - so you’re going to get two perspectives in this conversation. Listen in to hear Andrea share: The danger of stigmatizing alcoholism How wine culture - targeted at women, especially moms - makes it ok to use alcohol as a coping skill The danger of normalizing alcohol use in everyday scenarios The truth about the mental gymnastics & negotiation around alcohol use How she navigated her son’s autism diagnosis and her father’s death sober How sobriety brought her courage and self-confidence to take on anything in life Links mentioned: Connect with Andrea: Andrea Owen SMA Ep 194 with Andrea Owen: Your Kick-Ass Life Resource: She Recovers Resource: Hip Sobriety Resource: The Temper Book: This Naked Mind by Annie Grace Andrea on Facebook Andrea on Instagram Thank you to our sponsors: Stamps: Right now, my listeners get a special offer that includes a 4-week trial PLUS free postage AND a digital scale without any long-term commitment.
