Finding Joy in the Little Things: Stephanie’s Naked Life | E767

Can you create space for the simple moments that bring you the most joy? Stephanie first tried alcohol at age 14 but she didn’t react well to it. However, seeing people enjoy drinking at her dad’s bar later shaped her idea of fun. As a young wife, she often attended parties to have a good time. What started as social drinking grew into drinking more often at home, especially during challenging times, like losing her job and navigating her daughter’s health struggles. A family vacation became a turning point when she realized she had lost joy in life’s simple moments. Inspired to change, Stephanie now embraces a mindful lifestyle, finding happiness in fitness, nature, and meaningful connections. In this episode, she joins Annie to share her journey to a confident, intentional, and joyful life. In this episode, Annie and Stephanie will discuss: - Experimenting with alcohol as a teenager - How her dad’s bar shaped her idea of fun - Navigating different drinking habits in marriage - Parenting challenges after adopting her daughter - Losing her job during the pandemic - Using alcohol to unwind during tough times - The struggle to find joy in little things - Finding support through apps and online communities - Exploring her relationship with alcohol through curiosity - Staying motivated and smashing fitness goals - Building deeper connections with family and friends - Rediscovering confidence at a high school reunion - Finding joy in simple things like morning walks - Breaking free from the stigma of not drinking - And other topics… Related Episodes: EP 326: Reader Question – Why Am I So Confident Now That I Don’t Drink https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-326-reader-question-why-am-i-so-confident-now-that-i-dont-drink/ EP 362: Reader Question – Will I Ever Have Fun Without Drinking Alcohol? https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-362-reader-question-will-i-ever-have-fun-without-drinking-alcohol/ EP 744: Is Alcohol Blocking Your Peace?
