Ep 178: From Corporate Drinking to Alcohol-Free Coach and Author with Dupe Witherick

Jun 29

After climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, Dupe Witherick wanted to make an even bigger impact and conquer the world. It was this epic moment of strength and resilience that inspired her to take 21 days off of drinking, which quickly turned into over 3 years alcohol-free, leading to a book and a thriving career as a transformational coach.

Dupe and Karolina break down how the intuitive act of taking a break or ditching alcohol can help you unleash your biggest, most powerful dreams - in fact, it’s the fastest path to making what you want, happen.

You’ll hear about Dupe’s infamous “cocktail of clarity”, the beauty of ditching alcohol and experiencing more REM sleep, and the drinking trends that are so permeated throughout the UK that made it challenging for her to even quit in the first place. Alcohol is so deeply connected to grief, boredom, and unfulfillment, it’s incredible to see what’s on the other side of it.

IN THIS EPISODE:

How alcohol is so ingrained in the UK - from drinking after work, and the pressure Dupe felt to drink whiskey to fit in, “keep up with the men”, and not feel different
The epic decision and intuitive hit Dupe had to quit drinking alcohol after climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro
Dupe’s early experiences in making the decision to go alcohol-free, including how creating a vision board gave her focus and joy
Ditching alcohol can be the fastest road to achieving your dreams, whether it’s to become a transformational coach or write a book
How having an alcohol-free toolkit can keep you going, no matter what you’re going through. The universe gives us this challenge of alcohol to transform through and it’s really the vehicle that helps us unleash the deeper purpose in our lives

REFLECTION QUESTION:

Think of your dream vision board for the next year. What does it look like? What would you love to achieve that you haven’t yet?

“Just before the world changed, I climbed Kilimanjaro and I think that probably instigated a lot of this without me knowing. And it took a while between then and November for me to stop. But maybe at that point, having done something which was quite epic, really, and not many people do it, I had this sense of ‘I want to do more, I want to make an impact.’ I felt like I could conquer the world. It was one of those trips that was life-changing.” - Dupe Witherick

“Being alcohol-free gives you the tools to cope with anything in life. And not necessarily all the highs, but also the lows. And for me, self care has become really important. Having an alcohol-free toolkit has become really important, especially [in the] early days, but a lot of things that just became my daily routines and my habits and kept me going. Over the years, so much has happened.” - Dupe Witherick
