Summary

On today’s episode, Annie Grace talks with Meade, a Certified Naked Mind Coach who once used alcohol as a crutch for the tough seasons of life. Growing up believing people either drank or they went to AA or rehab, Meade always thought her drinking looked like everyone else’s. She thrived on people pleasing and found herself sleepwalking through her own life just to meet the needs of others. Stuck between the decision to continue drinking miserably or become miserable trying not to drink, Meade found This Naked Mind and stopped allowing alcohol to block her from living a life she loves.

Hi. Super exciting news. So The Alcohol Experiment book is being released. Actually it got released just a few days ago with the expanded edition. What does expanded edition mean? It means that every single day throughout the book there are deep reflective journal entries that have been added with space to write which is so cool and so exciting. So you really make it your own. And, the reason I did this is because I truly believe that the deepest wisdom you will access throughout the 30 days of The Alcohol Experiment comes from within you. You know more about what’s best for you than anybody else in the entire world. And I know sometimes that can be hard to believe but when you really access your own wisdom it is so profound. So you can pick up your own copy at alcoholexperimentbook.com and check it out. It’s really powerful.

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

0:43.0	take us sort of back to the beginning for you, like your first drink, where did alcohol sneak
0:48.3	into the picture? Sure, sure. So, yeah, so I grew up, I had a very normalish childhood.
0:56.4	I grew up at the beach and I would say that part of the beach life is everybody kind of works hard
1:03.0	during the week and on the weekends we get away to the beach and unwind. So, from a very early age,
1:09.3	we spent a lot of time on the weekends at the beach. You know, my parents with a cooler full of
1:14.8	Miller light relaxing and unwinding and as kids running around and playing and it was a,
1:20.6	you know, a wonderful way to grow up looking back. And, you know, my household growing up,
1:31.2	I mean, it was very normal. I had a older brother and my parents were, I would say, it was a

2:06.4	when I was five and she had spined a bit of and I would go to her house for play dates and I just
2:12.7	remember civilly wanting so badly to play with her walker to literally feel what it felt like
2:20.5	to kind of walk in her shoes. So, part of my story really revolves around this natural
2:30.1	feeling that I have. And, you know, growing up in that tense house, I learned that it was
