6. The Stigma of Sobriety with Guest Gill McKay

In this latest episode, I speak to fellow Coach, Gill McKay. Gill talks through her story and we discuss self-care, family, friendships, community, support and the stigma of sobriety.

Gill McKay runs Inquisitive Coaching helping professional, successful mid-life women to break free from the hold of alcohol and start living a life on their own terms – a life they don’t want to escape from.

To get in touch with Gill, check out her website and LinkedIn.

Her 3-month “Sober Joy” programme gives clients the tools to replenish their nervous system so they can make different choices without endless willpower, cravings or doubts.

Through a mixture of coaching and somatic work, alcohol becomes less important and eventually irrelevant in their lives.

With a background in neuroscience, Gill is also a mental health first aider, TEDx speaker and a best-selling author of “STUCK: Brain Smart Insights for Coaches”. She is currently writing her second book “FREEDOM: Design the Alcohol-Free Life of Your Dreams” which shares her own journey to happily ditching the booze for good and provides a framework for readers to use when they are ready to do the same.
