I am not an alcoholic and I am someone who’s been brought to their knees by alcohol. That’s a bold statement and could cause some people to immediately get defensive. I get that because I once referred to myself as an alcoholic. I bought into the idea even though it never really felt true for … Read more

Racquel is a true force of inspiration, and today, she’s here to share her remarkable journey of conquering self doubt and fully embracing her inner Rebel, all as she approached the transformative phase of midlife.
I made a truly life-changing decision some time ago – I decided to sell everything and embark on a journey to fulfill my dream of full-time travel. As you can imagine, such an adventure requires a great deal of planning and preparation. Now, I must confess, I absolutely love planning and preparing. In fact, I’ve … Read more
I woke up feeling psyched about putting in a full day of work on an exciting new course I’ve signed up for. It was something I have been wanting to do for a while and I felt really good about giving this to myself. I sat down excited to put in a full day of … Read more
I did! I felt like I existed in a cocoon, and not the healthy, nurturing kind. I had been alcohol-free for a long time, and by comparison, some would say I had a pretty great life. I wasn’t unhappy, but I wasn’t fulfilled either. It felt as though I lacked purpose and wasn’t living up … Read more
Have you ever truly evaluated your life? I’m not talking about casual contemplation, but a deep, introspective assessment where you write down your goals and measure your progress. During a course I attended last month, I was challenged to reverse engineer my life, starting from the end and working my way back. I was tasked … Read more
I made a commitment to myself some time ago, and I wanted a tangible reminder, so I had it engraved on a necklace. I am committed to me. I’ve often made commitments and promises to myself, only to forget about them shortly afterwards. But this particular commitment felt different; it felt like it held more … Read more
Join Matt and Amy as they delve into the fascinating world of life without alcohol. In their latest episode, they sit down with the incredible Racquel Reid, a woman who embarked on an extraordinary journey of self-discovery and transformation.
This episode highlights one woman’s journey through AA and beyond. During the course of this conversation, my guest, Racquel Reid will share her story of recovery and the benefits and, for her, pitfalls of a traditional 12-step program.
Racquel shares openly about the four years where she lived most of her life in the recovery rooms as an AA Poster Girl. Racquel quietly discovered that the longer she stayed in the program, the more disempowered she felt. She lost trust with herself and found herself simply existing vs. living. When Racquel decided she was craving fulfillment, she started a small group to support women getting outside of the walls of AA and into nature. That led to a deep dive into mediation and eventually to discovering the work of Annie Grace and This Naked Mind. A TNM coach since 2021, Racquel has continued to stretch her sense of adventure and curiosity and in early 2023 Racquel will leave her permanent home behind and travel the world, connecting with people, cultures and adventure! She will continue to offer 1:1 coaching for women who are excited about finding their own passion for growth.
