In this episode, host Nicky Yazbeck sits down with Laura Valvasori, a business and well-being mentor, Certified Emotion Code Practitioner, and creator of the “Still Me, But Alcohol-Free” program. Laura shares her personal journey of deciding to go alcohol-free in her mid-40s after recognizing the negative effects alcohol was having on her health, including sleep, gut health, and mental clarity.
The conversation explores the challenges of navigating social situations in a culture that normalizes drinking and highlights the mental clarity and overall well-being that can come from stepping away from alcohol. Laura explains how choosing to go alcohol-free eliminates the constant mental debate around drinking, while also reducing stress. She emphasizes that this decision is not necessarily about giving up alcohol for good but about experimenting with an alcohol-free lifestyle to see how it feels.
By taking a break from alcohol, individuals can gain clarity and make an informed choice about whether they wish to moderate, withhold, or continue drinking in the future. The episode encourages listeners to explore how alcohol affects their body, mind, and social life, and to discover what feels best for their personal well-being.
Nicky and Laura also discuss the lesser-known risks of alcohol, including its strong link to breast cancer in women, and how even moderate consumption can have lasting effects on health. Laura underscores that while moderation works for some, the experience of going alcohol-free offers a fresh perspective on one's relationship with alcohol and its impact on physical and emotional health.
This thoughtful and practical discussion empowers listeners to reflect on their habits and make informed decisions about alcohol use based on their own experiences.
