From Pour Decisions to Purposeful Living

From Pour Decisions to Purposeful Living 

For many years, I was living a life that didn’t quite feel right. I was happy in my marriage and delighted by my kids, but in my own life, it seemed I hadn’t yet found what I was looking for.

On many occasions, I wondered whether, if I stopped drinking, I might uncover what that missing piece was. But I found a lot of comfort in the certainty of my life — the steady paycheck and the ability to switch it all off at the end of the day.

I told myself it was 'just life' and to be grateful for what I had, and I tried, but deep down I knew that I couldn't be truly satisfied until I stopped pouring away the energy and clarity I needed to see if there was something else out there for me. 

When I was invited to join this group of authors, it felt like the perfect time to reflect on the process I went through — how I moved from feeling dissatisfied and unfulfilled to waking up most days filled with excitement and purpose.

This book, which incorporates a chapter outlining my journey is called Corporate to Calling, and it's launching November 21. 🎉

It’s not just a book about letting go of alcohol — it’s about re-evaluation of many areas of life, so if you don't drink, but you're still feeling stuck, there are many chapters that you will find inspiring too.

Each author shares a different story and speaks to the purpose, the peace, and the power that comes when you stop numbing your potential and start listening to your deeper calling.

Inside, you’ll find stories from a variety of professionals who chose alignment over achievement, presence over pressure, and fulfilment over fear. Some left corporate careers; others transformed their roles from the inside out. But all share one truth: letting go of what no longer serves you opens space for what’s meant for you.

In the pages, we explore:

💜 The hidden cost of “high-functioning” drinking — and how to break free
💜 How to rebuild clarity, confidence, and calm from the inside out
💜 The courage to pivot, pause, and pursue purpose on your own terms
💜 What authentic success really looks and feels like

If you’ve ever felt the quiet nudge that says there’s more than this, this book will meet you right there.
