Mindset Coach, Speaker & Writer Africa Brooke: Self-Discovery In Sobriety

“The very last time that I drank was not because anything spectacularly different happened. It was simply because I was exhausted. I knew that if I didn’t stop, I would end up losing everyone in my life. I also knew that I am destined for something much bigger. I’ve always been an entrepreneur and had so many ideas of things I want to do, but alcohol was a barrier to all of those things. I knew that I had to choose.”  My guest this episode is London-based Mindset Coach, Speaker and Writer, Africa Brooke.  In late 2016, Africa decided to get sober after nearly a decade of destructive drinking and many failed attempts of moderation. At this point, she made a personal commitment to a conscious journey of healing and self-discovery. This prompted her to begin openly sharing her struggles and eventual success story – on & offline – and over the course of 3 years, she’s inspired and built an ever-growing global community of over 20,000+ people.    In shifting her mindset, she’s transformed her own life, and is now on a mission to support other women to do the same through telling her story and Mindset Coaching.    Africa is also the Founder and Owner of The Cherry Revolution -- an Award Nominated Non-profit organisation that aims to break societal norms surrounding women, identity and sexuality by making shameless pleasure a priority) & Discovery Dive (Holistic personal and professional development company - where mindset meets strategy for women entrepreneurs).   This conversation really was an absolute joy. I really admire how open Africa is about her own experiences and how she is using her story to help others.    We talked all about:   What it was like moving from Zimbabwe aged 9 and how this impacted her self-identity Why she decided to get sober and what this journey has looked like so far How recovery has helped her reconnect with others, but also herself  Her Mindset coaching and how she helps others  Follow me: Twitter: @katiephilo (https://twitter.com/katiephilo) Instagram: @katiephilo (https://www.instagram.com/katiephilo/) www.katiephilo.com (https://katiephilo.com/) Follow Africa: Instagram: @africabrooke (https://www.instagram.com/africabrooke/) https://africabrooke.com/ (https://www.instagram.com/africabrooke/) (https://www.emmagannon.co.uk/)
