Summary

It’s been five years since Melissa stopped drinking alcohol, and life has transformed completely. She now navigates anxiety and stress by managing her mental health in a much healthier way, recognizing triggers without letting them take over. When she wakes up in a dark place, she dives deep into her life, getting radically honest with herself. To truly evolve, you have to be willing to do the work, change, and tap into what brings you joy and a strong sense of self. Instead of forcing things, it’s about connecting to source, remembering that you’re the creator of your life. Melissa suggests making a "joy list" and returning to those things whenever you feel disconnected. She’s discovered what elevates her mood without spiking anxiety and even has a favorite go-to for making non-alcoholic drinks. Tune in to be inspired about living life without alcohol and not looking back.

0:07.8	Are you ready?
0:09.9	And just breathe it all in.
0:11.7	I want to talk.
0:12.6	I can't lie.
0:14.5	I was like, it's going to be short, sweet, and very spicy.

0:42.7	And I've shared a lot of my journey on the first episode where I talk about living a life without alcohol. But I really wanted to touch on why I've maintained this

1:20.4	connected to source, where I would get these downloads and these calls to just, it's time. I get really, really grounded. And I did.
1:33.8	And what's happened since that day has completely transformed my life. I'm a completely different
1:43.5	person. My ability to cope with stress and manage
1:50.9	everything in my life. And the most important thing that I haven't really dove in on is,
1:57.4	is this ability to manage my mental health and to be able to feel certain triggers, especially

2:15.2	course has benefited me in ways that I couldn't have even imagined before,
