Why QLAB is on pause.. And 5 Things You Can Do For YOU - right now!

<p>This episode is a little different.</p><p>I’m pressing pause on the QLAB podcast, for now, and I wanted to share why.</p><p><br /></p><p>Over the past months, life has asked a lot of me. From being with my Nana in her final weeks, to navigating layers of grief and loss, it’s become clear that I can’t continue creating from a place of depletion. And if I can’t show up fully, I’d rather not show up at all – for now.</p><p>In this episode, I speak honestly about what’s been happening behind the scenes, the reality of thinking we have more time (until we don’t), and why stepping back is the most aligned thing I can do right for myself right now.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also share 5 gentle, supportive things you can do if you’re feeling overwhelmed, stretched, or just a bit worn down by life at the moment. This isn’t goodbye, it’s just a pause.</p><p><br /></p><p>And if you’re in a hard season too, I hope this reminds you to be a little gentler with yourself.</p><p>I also share how you can connect with me through weekly online yin yoga sessions in the evening. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yin yoga (online) - https://www.quitlikeabadass.com/services</p><p>Email - hello@quitlikeabadass.com</p><p>Spoons Theory - https://me-pedia.org/wiki/Spoon_theory</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>

What Is Alcohol Really Costing Us?

<p>We often talk about the financial cost of alcohol - how much we spend on drinks, nights out, or even on things to cure hangovers. But the real cost of drinking goes far beyond the money we hand over on these occasions.</p><p>In this episode, I explore the <strong>hidden costs of alcohol</strong> that many of us rarely stop to consider.</p><p>From the <strong>lost hours after a night of drinking</strong>, to the <strong>mental fog, reduced productivity, and missed opportunities</strong>, alcohol quietly takes far more than we realise.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode I dive into questions like:</p><ul><li><p>How much <strong>time</strong> does drinking really take from our lives?</p></li><li><p>What are the <strong>indirect costs,</strong> e.g. anxiety &amp; quality of life?</p></li><li><p>How does alcohol impact our <strong>emotions, goals, and potential</strong>?</p></li></ul><p>This episode isn’t about judgement - it’s about <strong>awareness</strong>.</p><p>Because we can&#39;t change anything we aren&#39;t aware of. I also provide a brief and powerful exercise you can do today in this episode.</p><p><br></p><p>🎧 Tune in and let me know your thoughts.</p><p><br></p>
