IN THIS EPISODE:

Charlotte’s inspiring story about ditching alcohol and the things that helped her through it, from self-love to breaking down some limiting beliefs
Anchoring our past selves for the new wisdom we have today and practicing self-love in order to take care of our FUTURE selves
Creating a life that is more exciting and beautiful – one that you don’t want to “fast-forward” through – than a silly beverage at the end of the day
The importance of having a FIRM commitment if you’re experimenting with life without alcohol for a set period of time
The value of being an “unrealistic dreamer,” and how confidence isn’t something you’re born with – it’s a result of competence, which you only get through practice
Changing your mindset while going through something challenging and thinking: I’m supposed to learn something from this

REFLECTION QUESTION:

Do you ever feel like you have to have “everything figured out” and be more qualified before you take that next big step in life? If so, why? Is it possible you CAN take that next step without, for example, getting an advanced degree or doing more research?

“I didn't have a purpose. Before this, I felt like my purpose was being a mom, or, things that were mediocre. I’m not saying being a mom is mediocre. But I wanted something for me. That I knew was meaningful to me, just for Charlotte, that could help me not only express myself, but be creative, help other people, and feel passion about. And I was nowhere close to that when I was still drinking. And with the mixture of not drinking and learning all the tools that I needed to, it was like this whole other world opened up that I didn't even know was possible.” - Charlotte Estrada

“A year and a half ago is when I started really understanding what being mindful means. For me, it's sitting down. It's recognizing the walls around me. It's feeling my heartbeat, hearing my breath. And then it's even looking at the leaves on a tree. Now I make it a point to just stop and really look at those things. Because we go so fast through life and these little moments throughout the day.” - Charlotte Estrada
