In this episode, we explore the topic of wellness, and specifically, our relationship with alcohol. Our guest is Megan Gotham. Megan is the founder of I am One Wellness, a coaching platform based on conscious, purpose-based living that also incorporates elements of yoga, breathing and most importantly, sobriety. Megan just celebrated 3 beautiful years sober last week, and she is here to share what drove her to let go of her relationship with alcohol and create a life that is worthy of her personal spark. Megan runs group and one on one coaching that helps those explore their relationship with alcohol and how it may be doing the opposite of what we want it to for our lives. Whether you just finished sober October, embarking on No-booze November, contemplating Dry January, or know that you want to manage your relationship with booze more consistently, this episode is for you. 

This episode is all about why you should run for the freaking hills if a Company tries to tell you that they are a family. They are not a family. They are a business. Trust is important, but it becomes a problem when you trust a company or boss more than you do your own damn self. The point of this podcast is to negate all of the things you heard when joining a company or looking for a new job, and that is to de-emphasize the concept of trust in your employer and rather put all your energy into your own self-confidence. So much energy in your own damn self, that you end up trusting your ability to handle whatever shit comes your way, even better than you do your place of employment to not throw shit at you. Liz will break down what that means for you. Happy listening.

One of my favorite quotes that may end up get this episode deemed as inappropriate is:

“Meetings are an addictive, highly self-indulgent activity that corporations and other organizations habitually engage in only because they cannot actually masturbate.” That quote comes from Dave Barry who is a Pulitzer-Prize winning American humorist and who may also be Yoda. You’re welcome.

This episode is all about how to shift from the pain of endless meetings, to owning your time (and your life) with more manageable ways of managing your meetings (and what is says about "meeting heavy" cultures). Enjoy!
