Have you ever felt like something was stealing your life away without you fully realizing it? Jeanne returns to the podcast four years after first sharing her story with Annie in 2021. Back then, she was navigating life surrounded by drinking culture while choosing to live alcohol-free. Now, in this candid conversation with Coach Hayley, she opens up about how she came to understand that alcohol steals happiness in ways she never expected. Her journey from multiple failed quit attempts to genuine empowerment shows how moving from head knowledge to heart change creates lasting transformation. Jeanne now embraces being alcohol-free as an invitation to freedom rather than a restriction.
