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 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, grieving, and celebration, she found that cutting it out helped her, and later, her clients feel truly well and finally reach their 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 be hitting shelves on October 3, 2023, published by Penguin Random House / Avery. With an approach rooted in psychology and spiritual study, Unbottled Potential 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.” Exploring sobriety and the effects on every major pillar of your life in detail: from navigating social situations without alcohol to nurturing relationships, rediscovering your authentic self, the impacts on your career, personal development, and spiritual awakening.

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 be hitting shelves on October 3, 2023, published by Penguin Random House / Avery. With an approach rooted in psychology and spiritual study, Unbottled Potential will challenge you to open your mind to the extraordinary possibilities of an alcohol-free life.

  I have been studying what makes a “Good Death” for years. When I was working with end of life patients and their families, I quickly learned that being a part of a positive end of life experience is a blessing.    It not only makes you aware that this natural and guaranteed part of life can be beautiful - but it changes you. It allows you to step into a sacred and wondrous place. It suddenly gives a deeper meaning to life and it exposes you to a new energy and connection that shifts your perspective, heals you, and sets you on a path to discover your higher purpose.   We are all holistic beings that consist of four primary bodies of energy:   Physical Body Mental Body Emotional Body Spiritual Body   At the end of life, as someone's physical body is diminishing, their spiritual body is growing and it is at this time that people get what I call their “spiritual eyes” or “spiritual wisdom”. They become connected to their higher consciousness and the greater part of themselves that opens them up to a newfound perspective and understanding of just about everything!   It is at this time where they say “I get it now! Now I know why all those things happened to me!”   It is like watching someone put all the puzzle pieces of their life together and the clarity, peace, and serenity they find in this moment is indescribable. It is truly magnificent.   But here is what I want you to know… we do not have to wait until the end of our lives to experience this aha! moment we all so desperately want. We can access this higher wisdom and connection right now.    Yes - RIGHT NOW!    We just need to do the work. We need to make a conscious decision to make intentional choices that raise the frequency of our energy so that we can tap into that higher perspective and that inner-knowing right here and right now. In this week's episode of the Ask a Death Doula Podcast, I am talking with Amanda Kuda about her new book “Unbottled Potential” and we are talking all about the role that alcohol plays in keeping us from connecting to our higher self.   I will tell you right now that working with those at the end of life has taught me everything I know about how to truly LIVE.   How to:  Live a Life of Presence Live a Life of Purpose Live a Life of Fulfillment   It is by learning these important life lessons that have been passed on to me by my former patients that you can learn to live an extraordinary life too!    That is why on Thursday, October 26th at 7pm ET I am teaching a LIVE Universal Life Mastery {ULM} Masterclass Webinar where I will be going deeper into these life-changing perspectives and realizations I have been fortunate enough to experience and benefit from in my own life.    I would love for you to join me in this class where we will explore how to find a place of inner peace no matter what your external circumstances may be, how to connect to the higher version of yourself that is waiting to be accessed, and how to find your path and purpose in this life!    Click Here to Register Now!
