The Crossroads That Changed Everything | Kelly's Naked Life | EP 900

What made me question my drinking? “It wasn't a rock bottom — it was a barstool, a mirror, and a quiet voice asking where this road was headed,” says Kelly. Kelly grew up in a drinking household, spent years drinking daily, and was smart enough to see the writing on the wall before things got worse. Five years later, she joins Coach Cole to share the health wake-up call, the book that changed everything, and how The Path gave her the tools to finally walk away for good. Kelly and Cole discuss: How drinking became the unquestioned norm The decade of daily drinking that crept in through stress, social life, and relationship habits What made me question my drinking: health symptoms, a telling look around the bar, and a sister's timely recommendation Reading This Naked Mind and feeling like Annie Grace had written her exact story Why giving herself one year felt safer than forever The vacation experiment that showed her exactly what alcohol was still costing her How stopping drinking didn't just clear her head but handed her back her time, her focus, and her professional edge Trading the bar stool for the yoga mat and becoming the person she used to watch from the other side of the street And more on self-compassion, community, five years of freedom, and why she will never go back...
