#326 - BEYOND BOOZE with Sarah Rusbatch

Hi there 💛 Have you ever thought about what life could look like without alcohol? For decades, we’ve been sold the idea that alcohol is a reward—something we use to celebrate, relax, and unwind. But what if removing it could actually make us feel more energized, optimistic, and alive? In this episode, I sit down with the inspiring Sarah Rusbatch, a Gray Area Drinking and Sobriety Coach and author of Beyond Booze: How to Create a Life You Love Alcohol-Free. Sarah shares her powerful journey of quitting alcohol and how doing so unlocked an entirely new, fulfilling life. If you've ever felt stuck in the cycle of drinking without realizing its full impact, this episode is for you. Here’s what you’ll discover in our conversation: What “gray area drinking” really means and how to recognize if you’re in it. Practical tips to help you take a break from alcohol and explore a different way of living. How alcohol affects sleep, hormones, and overall well-being—especially for women in midlife. The incredible opportunities that open up when you remove alcohol from your life. If you're curious about making a change or simply want to explore what life beyond booze could feel like, tune in for this inspiring discussion. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonates with you from this episode and what you plan to implement after listening in.
