ISMs

Sobriety is an opportunity to fully accept and trust ourselves. We cultivate self-trust by saying “yes” to ourselves over a series of choices. Sobriety gives you plenty of opportunities to say “yes” to yourself. In this episode, Jenna Zaffino shares her personal story around alcohol and how it relates to motherhood, spirituality and running a business. Sobriety creates more opportunities to better yourself. Instead of planning your next drink, you free yourself up to think about other things like healthy meal planning, creative projects or having meaningful relationships. This work isn’t easy. We share resources and tips that will help you be successful on the sober journey. It all starts with unlearning the belief that giving up alcohol also means giving up belonging, connection and community. Amazing things happen when you align yourself with your true values. For us, being sober means having a deeper spiritual practice, finding our voice and finding our business and relationship purposes.   Jenna is a dynamic leader who offers education for your brain, body and business through professional coaching, movement experiences, writing, and speaking.  The balanced alignment of the brain, body, business trifecta is the platform from which Jenna helps hundreds of fitness and wellness professionals access mindset shifts, physical resiliency and empowered individuality in their business practices.

The inner perfectionist in all of us loves getting rules. Our boozy culture has no problem telling you what’s right and what’s wrong. “This is what I have to do to be healthy… fun… social… desirable.” This episode with life coaches Terri Bradway and Justice Smith creates a safe space for you to examine your personal relationship to alcohol. You have the power to decide what’s normal and right for you. This is messy and an imperfect process. You will be challenged to reexamine your priorities, your relationships, and lifestyle. This can be difficult and transformative work, but just now that you don’t have to navigate this change alone. We wrap up conversation, by talking about the bright future of the sober and proud movement. And the coolest thing is that it’s being led by women. ISMs landed the #970 spot on iTunes in the US.

Perfection shows up in my life around all the ISMs — workaholism, romanticism and alcoholism. In this episode, I share my personal experiences around setting boundaries at the office, dating and happy hour. Perfectionism is an opportunity to be responsible for ourselves and our growth.
