Tribe Sober - inpiring an alcohol-free life!

My guest this week is Podcast Business Coach and Weight Loss Guru - Adam Schaeuble.

His story is similar to mine in that he resolved his own issues and then went on to help others to do the same

In this Episode

• Adam shared his personal transformation story with us
• We agreed that many of the methods he uses to help his community can be used in the Tribe Sober community
• The first step - asking for help - is the hardest - we have to put our ego to one side and reach out
• Adam uses a strategic approach with his clients - gets them to plan 28 days in advance and look for "danger zones"
• We discussed the importance of not letting a "slip up" derail you - just get back on track straight away
• Anchor points are essential - they give you a dopamine hit to keep going forward
• Adam explained the difference between motivation and inspiration - we need to be inspired if we are going to succeed
• If you don't feel inspired then get some coaching - if you come to the coaching session "motivated" you will leave "inspired"
• He shared his transformation timeline with us - and stressed the importance of finding a new purpose at the end of the journey

Tribe Sober - Your guide to alcohol-free living!

This week I'm chatting to an inspirational woman Mary Ann Shearer who is a best selling author and a motivational speaker.

In this Episode

• Mary Ann is a woman before her time and was advocating veganism thirty years ago!
• Her first book "The Natural Way" was written more than 20 years ago
• She explained that if you give your children lots of sweet things it sets them up for alcohol dependency later in life
• Mary Ann had alcoholic parents and as a result she craves order and control and has never drunk alcohol
• We agreed that children of alcoholic parents tend to be like her - or they tend to follow the pattern of their parents
• She advised people who have stopped drinking to satisfy their cravings by eating fresh fruit not chocolates or sweets
• Our bodies need glucose and eating fresh fruit satisfies the craving for alcohol
• Mary Ann feels that alcoholics are clever people who need a creative outlet - sobriety will give them the time and space to find one
• She explained the damage that alcohol does to our endocrine system - and how it makes menopause much worse
• To find out more about Mary Ann go to her website - https://maryannshearer.com/ - her book is called "Perfect Health - The Natural Way" available on Amazon
