Lucy Quick is a life and sobriety coach, committed to empowering women through examining their relationships with alcohol and overdrinking. Lucy is the co-founder of Thrivalist Sobriety, and dedicates her days to helping sober-curious women all around the world build deep and loving connections with themselves.
This eye-opening, judgment-free episode really prompted us to reflect on our own relationships with alcohol, conscious consumption, and reminded us of the power of self-awareness.
We spoke with Lucy about:
– The Thrivalist Sobriety story, and Lucy’s own journey to sobriety
– How Lucy came to realise that her relationship with alcohol consumption was unhealthy
– Self-worth, and how sobriety can support the progression from self-loathing to self-love
– Alcohol consumption and escapism – how and why humans like to avoid difficult emotions, and how alcohol impacts the brain to temporarily ‘numb’ us
– The tools Lucy used to create new healthy habits, reset her dopamine reward system, and navigate cravings and triggers
– The benefits of sobriety for mental health, how alcohol works as a depressant, and Lucy’s own personal experience
– Why Lucy feels it’s important not to shame ‘normal’ alcohol drinkers
– How it is possible to rewire our brains around drinking habits
– Getting clear on your ‘why’, and tapping into your soul purpose
– Why feelings work so potently as motivators
– Lucy’s thoughts on the sobriety movement and on drinking culture
– Why nervous system regulation is so important for a healthy relationship with alcohol
