Who Am I Without Alcohol? A Conversation on Identity & Growth with Amy Kiernan
This week we have the incredible Transformation Coach Amy Kiernan @heycoachamyIn this episode we ask different questions about ourselves, specifically around Identity.Instead of asking questions like ‘is the booze really serving me anymore’ we can begin to ask questions along the lines of:‘What do I want out of my life?’ ‘What’s important to me? ‘What do I believe in?’ ‘What do I like most about the world?’We talk about change, how to recognise when we need to change and how mantras like 'I create my own world view, I create my own perspective' can help us carve out a new identity.To learn more about the work Amy go toUp Level Coaching & Consulting | Inner Shift - Outer Impact

I'm Olivia Farrelly and I am an Alcohol-Free Mentor. Every episode, I interview people who have removed alcohol from their lives. We discuss how alcohol made their lives better, how it made their lives worse, any tips they've learned along the way and what advice they would give to somebody else looking to live their lives with No More Booze. This podcast is not just about sobriety; it's about rewriting the script on alcohol culture in this extremely alcohol centric world that we live in. Becoming alcohol free invloves learning to untangle from this culture and how to embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth and the pursuit of genuine happiness. As an alcohol-free mentor, I can provide guidance, support and advice to anyone who is seeking to live their life free from alcohol. I use specific tools to enhance motivation to make positive life choices regarding alcohol use. I help people identity their goals and they make specific changes accordingly. I also provide accountability to those seeking to make these changes. I show people ways to develop new, healthier coping mechanisms and make more positive, life-affirming life choices.Find me at www.greyareadrinker.ie oron Instagram @greyareadrinker
