ABOUT ME: Hi, I’m Lise (sounds like ‘lease’). I quit drinking at age 47. I was a habitual wine drinker after work, and binge drinker on the weekends for many years. I've been aclohol-free since 11-1-2020 and caffeine-free since 11-6-2021. I don't think about drinking alcohol and I don't miss it. Mindfulness strategies and spiritual solutions CHANGED my life and it can change yours too. I’m spilling the tea on how I did it and how you can too. I spent 20 years working in corporate finance for multi-million and billion dollar companies. My chronic stress and drinking habit was silently and slowly wrecking my health, relationships and professional life. My habits included over-drinking, binge-drinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, over-working, over-thinking and procrastinating. Not any more. If I can do it so can you. If this sounds good to you, please consider following the podcast. I'm so glad we found each other.
