Dare to Feel: Agnes’s Naked Life | E771

What might change if you let yourself feel every emotion without running from it? Agnes grew up in a "work hard, play hard" family, where alcohol was a way to ease stress. After a childhood filled with trauma, she carried so much pain into her teenage years, struggling to connect socially. Drinking made her feel alive and fun, becoming her go-to for managing stress, social situations, and intimacy, following a doctor’s advice. Over time, she realized that the more she drank, the more lost and unhappy she felt. In this episode, Agnes shares with Annie how she stopped running from her feelings, reclaimed her voice, and built trust in herself. By fully embracing her emotions, she created a life of clarity, strength, and purpose, helping others as a certified coach. In this episode, Annie and Agnes will discuss: - Experiencing childhood trauma involving alcohol - Drinking in high school to fit in socially - Using alcohol to boost confidence and ease stress - Feeling guilt and shame about drinking habits - Following doctors’ advice to drink for relaxation or intimacy - Shifting from weekend drinking to drinking for any occasion - Getting curious about her relationship with alcohol - Struggling to make clear decisions after drinking - Building new routines for social situations - Discovering joy in helping others as a certified coach - Trusting herself and embracing emotions without fear - And other topics… Related Episodes: EP 256: Reader Question – How to Loosen Up for Sex Without Alcohol https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-256-how-to-loosen-up-for-sex-without-alcohol/ EP 448: What I Wish I Knew Before My First Drink – The Thief of Joy https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-448-what-i-wish-i-knew-before-my-first-drink-the-thief-of-joy EP 733: You Are Not the Problem, Alcohol Is – Naked Life Story https://thisnakedmind.com/you-are-not-the-problem-alcohol-is-naked-life-story-ep-733/ Ready to take the next step on your journey?
