Summary

In today’s episode, Annie welcomes Simon, a man whose passion for alcohol free living is absolutely contagious and led him to create his 2020 catchphrase, “Liquid Vegan.” Simon talks about how reading This Naked Mind helped him realize you can hold beliefs that aren’t true. “I thought everything I believed was true,” says Simon. “By the end of the book, it was as if all my beliefs had been proven wrong.” With new beliefs that don’t hold him back, Simon shares how his healthy behaviors have influenced and allowed him to be a better dad to his teenage son.

Let me ask you a question. What is better than change? Lasting change, of course. If you've had trouble making change stick, either with alcohol or in any other area of your life, you are in for a treat. I created the 100 Days of Lasting Change to ensure that we don't just change for a moment, but we truly transform for a lifetime. This program is so close to my heart. Thousands of people have been through it, and their results are incredible. But don't take my word for it, check it out at thisnakedmind.com/100days.

As always, rate, review and subscribe to this podcast, as it truly helps the message reach somebody who might need to hear it today.
