The Brian Keane Podcast

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.   (Website) Amanda Kuda | Life Coach For Sober Curious & Alcohol-Free Women (Instagram) Amanda Kuda | Alcohol-Free Life Coach (@amandakuda) • Instagram photos and videos (Podcast) The Unbottled Potential Podcast — Amanda Kuda | Life Coach For Sober Curious & Alcohol-Free Women (Blog) Life Coach & Mentor helping women live more authentically — Amanda Kuda | Life Coach For Sober Curious & Alcohol-Free Women (Youtube) Authentically Amanda - Amanda Kuda - YouTube (Twitter) AmandaKuda (@AmandaKuda) / X (Book) Unbottled Potential Unbottled Potential: Break Up with Alcohol and Break Through to Your Best Life - Kindle edition by Kuda, Amanda.
