LAF Life (Living Alcohol Free)

LAF Life was voted one of the Top 10 new recovery podcasts in 2022. It is a weekly lifestyle podcast hosted by a couple of friends living alcohol free. In a booze-soaked world, we all made the unpopular decision to become "AF" (alcohol-free). What makes us different? This podcast is about sharing our unique perspectives on how we managed to pull ourselves out of this cultural epidemic and create a beautiful alcohol free life. Without using labels to define our choices, we debunk some of the myths about what life is really like without alcohol. We came together with a common vision, to share our stories and build a community of likeminded people in a safe, judgement free environment. We reveal our real life experiences unscripted & uncensored with the hopes to inspire others on their journey to sobriety. On the road to self-discovery we plan to grow, learn and heal together.

PIVOTAL "AF" MOMENT: The brutal hangovers and the self-loathing finally got to me. My inner voice got LOUD and I knew I was not living my best life. I knew I was made for more. I knew I could set a better example for my kids. I knew I was dying inside.

BEST THING ABOUT LIVING "AF": Loving myself. Loving life. Living life to the fullest and showing up as my full, best self for me and the people I love.

ABOUT ME: Business owner whose passionate about creating for the many. I believe that we are on a journey which allows us to discover things about our authentic selves through good and hard times. Enjoy documentaries, playing golf, and hiking.

I love dogs and their ability to use instincts to gauge a person.

PIVOTAL "AF" MOMENT: My social butterfly spirit lead me to meeting different groups of friends many nights a week to drink and socialize as a second job. I hated waking up groggy coupled with the emotional pain of deep rooted unresolved trauma. The voice in my head kept questioning my bad decisions, was I ready to try something new? Trust Life it will teach you.

BEST THING ABOUT LIVING "AF": Focused on growing into my best self. No more hangovers. Helping people realize they can do things if they challenge themselves.

PIVOTAL "AF" MOMENT: My life took an unexpected turn @ 40 when I became a single Mom. Drinking wine became a daily ritual, a way to cope with the pain and loneliness I felt when I didn't have my daughter. As l adjusted to my new life and things got better, I realized my daughter was growing up and I was still drowning my soul & my motivation in a bottle a wine. This wasn't the role model or version of myself I wanted to be for her. With that realization I decided my relationship with alcohol needed to change.

BEST THING ABOUT LIVING "AF": Waking up everyday clear headed, motivated and anxiety free!
