In this insightful conversation, Shelby welcomes Amanda Kuda, author of "Unbottled Potential," to discuss different pathways to sobriety and the importance of finding what resonates with you personally.Amanda shares her journey to sobriety, which began when she realized her weekend drinking habits were counteracting her weekday personal development work. Despite not hitting "rock bottom" or fitting traditional addiction narratives, she recognized alcohol was preventing her from becoming her most authentic self.Key Takeaways:Amanda's approach to sobriety came from a spiritual angle, studying influencers like Wayne Dyer, Marianne Williamson, and Gabby BernsteinBoth women discuss how there are multiple valid paths to recovery beyond the 12-step modelThe skills of emotional regulation and sitting with discomfort are essential for long-term sobrietyJournaling prompt: "Wait, what am I thinking?" can help process emotions that might trigger drinkingLearning to name your emotions and accept all feelings as valid helps reduce emotional volatilityAmanda emphasizes that you don't need to have a "drinking problem" for alcohol to be a problem in your life. If it's preventing you from being your most authentic self, that's reason enough to question your relationship with it.Shelby highlights how recent research, including the 2025 Surgeon General's report, confirms that no amount of alcohol is safe for consumption, supporting the decision to live alcohol-free regardless of where you fall on the spectrum of use.This conversation powerfully illustrates that recovery doesn't always fit into prescribed models - what matters most is finding an approach that resonates with you and leads to a better life.Connect with Amanda Kuda:Website: amandakuda.comInstagram: @amandakudaTikTok: @amanda.kudaFacebook: amandakudaLinkedIn: amandakudaBook - Unbottled Potential: AmazonAre you ready to explore your relationship with alcohol from a fresh perspective?

Amanda is an alcohol-free lifestyle expert, holistic life coach, speaker, and author. Amanda's journey shows that you don't need a drinking problem for alcohol to hold you back. Without hitting rock bottom, she discovered during Dry January that sobriety was the key to a more fulfilling life. Since going alcohol-free in 2017, she's been helping others embrace intentional living and unlock their full potential. Her debut book, Unbottled Potential, is a transformative guide to living alcohol-free, designed to help people manifest success and lead extraordinary lives. Amanda's approach isn't about a temporary challenge—it's about redefining what it means to live fully and authentically through the sober-curious movement. Here are some of the things we talked about in today's podcast: · Social pressures can make sobriety feel isolating. · Cutting back on alcohol can be a mental struggle. · Going cold turkey can be more effective than moderation. · Unexpected benefits of sobriety include increased clarity and creativity. · Friendships may evolve as drinking habits change. · Embracing discomfort can lead to personal growth and new connections. The realization of true friendship often comes after sobriety. · Facing emotions without alcohol is a challenging but necessary process. · Alcohol can cap your ability to experience joy. · It's important to sit with your emotions rather than escape them. · Life can become unimaginably better after quitting alcohol. · Finding your 'why' is crucial for maintaining sobriety. · Embracing discomfort can lead to personal growth and fulfilment.

240: If you are thinking about quitting alcohol or perhaps you just did Dry January and are considering "what now"? - this is the episode for you! Today I have Amanda Kudo on the show and she shares her own personal story about quitting alcohol when she never really was an alcoholic to begin with, but she experienced so many health benefits including not having "crunchy muscles" (and we'll get into what she means by that), more energy, weight loss, better sleep, clearer skins, and so much, more. Amanda was only drinking socially on the weekends but she still wasn't feeling well which led her on her journey to cut out alcohol and experience physical and emotional freedom and how you can too. Even if you yourself don't drink, I'm sure you know someone that does....perhaps it's your partner, friend, child, or parent. This episode teaches you how to encourage those around you to take a break from drinking and methods and tips to go about that without being "annoying" or like you are stepping over your boundaries. We also talk about some really interesting non-alcoholic drinks on the market including dealcoholized wine and I share my favorite go-to alcohol free store bought drink as well. So if you're sober curious, grab a drink (alcohol free of course) and tune in and walk away with empowering tips and tricks to living less inflamed, more empowered, and mentally ready to experience a non-alcohol way of life. Topics Discussed: What crunchy muscles means Non-alcoholic drinks on the market (and my fav!) How EVEN social drinking can be hindering your health goals Tips to stop drinking Tips to help someone you know try to quit drinking The parent, child relationship between alcohol in the home Alternatives coping methods instead of drinking Why and what YOUR reason is for not drinking As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.

In this episode, Amanda and I explore… The drinking culture we live in How world health organisations have changed their view on alcohol How to change your relationship with alcohol How to quit drinking The power to look from within And so much more!

Amanda Kuda can attest to the fact that you don't need to have a drinking problem for alcohol to be holding you back. Like a lot of successful young professionals, her life was a carousel of opportunities to drink that ultimately left her feeling unfulfilled in her spirit, relationships, and career. She didn't hit “rock bottom” or need a recovery program, but she did need a change. It was only when Kuda tried Dry January that she realized sobriety was the linchpin to a better life. In a culture that treats alcohol as a cure all to subdue anxiety, grieve, and celebrate, she found that cutting it out helped her and later, her clients feel truly well and finally reach her full potential. Today, Amanda is an alcohol-free lifestyle expert and coach helping ambitious, soul-centered women stop drinking and start manifesting the life they desire and deserve. Amanda's first book, Unbottled Potential: Break Up With Alcohol And Break Through To Your Best Life will challenge you to open your mind to the extraordinary possibilities of an alcohol-free life. This isn't just Dry January: this is an opportunity to investigate your relationship with alcohol and understand the true meaning behind “sober-curious.” In this episode, Amanda shares the story of how she realized that alcohol was holding her back from her fullest potential, and how she navigated social situations and friends during the transition.

How can someone effectively navigate the different stages of their sobriety journey, from being 'sober curious' to fully 'alcohol-free', and what are the most beneficial types of investments to make at each stage for personal and spiritual growth? In this episode, Amanda talks about the journey of sobriety and the investments one can make in each phase of this journey. She breaks down the personal development journey through sobriety into three different phases: being sober curious, sober serious, and alcohol free. Amanda advises on potential investments one could make at each stage, from self-learning and small investments like books and challenges to more serious investments like coaching programs or retreats. She punctuates the discussion with her personal experiences and observations from her seven-year alcohol-free journey and outlines key considerations when deciding to invest in one's alcohol-free journey. [00:00 - 05:10] Personal Growth through Sobriety Being alcohol-free is a significant step in personal development. Amanda reflects on her own journey, being seven years alcohol-free, and how she tailored her offerings to align with different phases of sobriety. The three unique stages of the alcohol-free journey - sober curious, sober serious, and alcohol-free. [05:10 - 17:01] The 'Sober Curious' Stage: Opportunities for Self-Learning Sober curious individuals are exploring the idea of an alcohol-free lifestyle without fully committing to it. There is a potential for information overload and becoming stuck in a 'research mode' without progressing to actionable steps. Amanda suggests a transition from solely relying on free content to making small investments in one's sobriety journey, such as purchasing books or attending courses. [17:02 - 26:24] The 'Sober Serious' Stage: Committing to Sobriety Commitment, overcoming personal barriers, and transitioning from learning to action is important to become ‘sober serious'. Amanda discusses the benefits of different types of programs - individual coaching, group coaching, and hybrid models - to cater to diverse learning and support needs. There is a potential unethical practice in the sobriety space. Personal accountability is also important in sobriety. [26:24 - 37:16] Transitioning to the 'Alcohol-Free' Phase Continuous community support and maintaining momentum are important in moving into the phase of being alcohol-free. There are various ways to stay engaged in the alcohol-free community, including less intensive involvement like monthly or bi-weekly meetings. It is important to surround oneself with mentors who understand and live an alcohol-free lifestyle. Amanda advises investing in retreats, masterminds, or other deep-dive experiences only after firmly establishing an alcohol-free foundation. Quotes: "I've used sobriety as a massive opportunity for personal growth and spiritual development." - Amanda Kuda "Your story is not going to be reflected in every single book that you read." - Amanda Kuda "Know that free is not always better. Free means that you're piecemealing and that a lot of times you're intellectualizing instead of actualizing." - Amanda Kuda Learn more by connecting with Amanda through Instagram or visit AmandaKuda.com.

Sometimes, without even being aware of it, we've allowed alcohol to steal our time and energy, cloud our clarity, fuel self-doubt, reduce motivation and alter our brains and bodies. Our lives have been dulled by booze. I asked Amanda Kuda, author of the book Unbottled Potential: Break Up With Alcohol And Break Through To Your Best Life to talk with me about how alcohol keeps us stuck in “good enough”. Before she stopped drinking Amanda's life looked really good from the outside. She was young, healthy, single and attractive with a successful career and an active social life. But she describes her life as “a shallow, repetitive merry go round of ladder climbing and elbow rubbing that was sold as “the dream”.” When she stepped back she saw that most of her friendships lacked depth, her romantic life was unfulfilling, she was working for someone else's dream and her life was devoid of the spiritual connection she craved. What started as a 30 day break from alcohol became a transformational experience as Amanda committed the time, money and energy she had previously spent on partying to her own personal, emotional and spiritual development. 3 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living More Join The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.

Mind Love • Modern Mindfulness to Think, Feel, and Live Well
Have you ever wondered who you would be without the crutch, or the pull, of alcohol? It's a question that might make you squirm a little, but it's worth sitting with. What if that glass of wine or that bottle of beer is actually bottling up your true potential? Our guest today is Amanda Kuda. She can attest to the fact that you don't need to have a drinking problem for alcohol to be holding you back. Like a lot of successful young professionals, her life was basically a carousel of opportunities to drink that ended up leaving her feeling unfulfilled in her spirit, relationships, and career. She didn't hit “rock bottom” or need a recovery program, but she did need a change. It was only when she tried Dry January that she realized sobriety was the linchpin to a better life. In a culture that treats alcohol as a cure-all to subdue anxiety, grieve, and celebrate, she found that cutting it out helped her truly reach her full potential. Now, she's an alcohol-free lifestyle expert and coach helping ambitious, soul-centered women stop drinking and start manifesting the life they desire and deserve. Amanda's first book, “Unbottled Potential: Break Up With Alcohol And Break Through To Your Best Life,” hits the shelves today, October 3, 2023. We will learn: The connection between alcohol and identity The real myths of moderation How removing ineffective things from our lives can create space for positive growth Links from the episode: Show Notes: https://mindlove.com/316 Become a Mind Love Member for high-value Masterclasses, Growth Workbooks, Monthly Meditations, and Uninterrupted Listening FREE 5-Days to Purpose Email Course Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes to wake up inspired Support Mind Love Sponsors Learn more about your ad choices.

Show Notes–Ep. 247: Breaking Up with Booze and Living Your Best Life with Amanda Kuda Amanda Kuda was acutely aware of being different from her peers growing up–the movie Matilda made her feel seen, minus the telekinesis–so when she discovered that alcohol made it easier for her to fit in, it became a regular part of her social life. After an ADHD diagnosis in her early 20's, Amanda started to take note of what was and wasn't helpful for managing her symptoms and realized the habit change that benefitted her the most was removing alcohol from her lifestyle. Now, seven years later, Amanda is an author and holistic life coach who helps other ambitious women stop drinking and start manifesting the lives they want and deserve. She tells me, “What transpired after I stopped drinking alcohol was that my potential, my authenticity, my magic came online at a level that I hadn't before been able to access it.” Join my insightful conversation with Amanda to hear about how alcohol may be holding you back from your authenticity and all the ways life can open up for you when you take a step back from substances and embrace who you really are.
