28. The impact of alcohol on our wellbeing with Sarah Rusbatch

Building Doors with Lauren Karan

I have done yoga classes that have ended with a glass of champagne. Alcohol is being so normalized in our society and yet it's super addictive. If you notice that you have come, fallen into a grey area drinking category, don't think that there's something wrong with you.

Join us in this insightful episode of Building Doors where we sit down with Grey Area Drinking coach Sarah Rusbatch who talks us through the normalisation of alcohol in our society and we seek to understand what it’s really doing to our wellbeing in our lives and at work.

Sarah is a woman's health and wellbeing coach, an accredited grey area drinking coach, and a keynote speaker known for sharing her journey to sobriety and the profound impact of alcohol on her mental health.

She is the driving force behind Perth's Alcohol-Free Movement with a mission to inspire and empower women to live their best lives, both mentally and physically.

In this episode we cover:

· How alcohol is normalised from childhood

· The role of alcohol in social and celebratory events

· What is take it or leave it drinking

· How we can sit with our emotions

· The health impacts of alcohol on our bodies

· What alcohol does to our mental health

· Signs of grey area drinking

· Finding the right support

Sarah helps us dig deep to re-examine our relationship with alcohol and encourages us to question the narrative we have around its role in our lives.
