Are you alcohol-free but still feeling foggy, directionless, or off-track? You're not alone—and you're not failing. You're just in the space between who the world told you to be and who you're becoming. In this episode, I share a powerful perspective shift (and one of my favorite clarity-creating tools) to help you start tuning in to you—the real, raw, radiant you underneath all the programming and pressure. This one's especially for you if you've said things like: "I thought quitting alcohol would bring me clarity… but now I feel more confused than ever." Inside this episode: Why the "clarity crash" after sobriety is so common (and not a problem) How alcohol dulls your intuition and leads to "borrowed" dreams The identity void and why it actually signals a breakthrough A simple, soul-level exercise to reconnect with how you want to feel What to do when you find yourself cycling back into old, familiar feelings   🔗 Resources + Links Join the waitlist for Awaken Without Alcohol Explore Danielle LaPorte's The Desire Map (or google: Core Desired Feelings) Follow Amanda on Instagram ✨ If this episode lands with you, send Amanda a DM or tag her in your stories @amandakuda.  

104. Are You Still Draining Your Energy… After Ditching Alcohol?

What if the reason you're still exhausted isn't because you're doing sobriety wrong—it's because you're still living like the old you?   You gave up alcohol thinking you'd get your time, energy, and focus back... and maybe on paper, you have. But if you're still constantly overbooked, overcommitted, and over-functioning—this episode is your wake-up call.   We're talking about what it really takes to reclaim your energy in sobriety (hint: it's not another productivity hack).   In this episode, you'll learn: Why simply removing alcohol isn't enough to feel fulfilled How high-achieving women accidentally become their own energy thieves A powerful calendar reflection exercise to help you stop living as the "old you" How to spot the responsibilities that are tethering you to your past identity The truth about people-pleasing, productivity addiction, and chasing external gold stars   If you've ever thought: "I'm sober, so why do I still feel so drained?" This one's for you.   🎧 Listen now and then head to your calendar… you'll never look at it the same way again.   🔗 Ready to stop spending your energy on guilt and start investing it in growth?

103. When Sobriety Sparks a Career Pivot (The Signs You Can't Ignore)

Have you ever wondered if sobriety might be the first domino in a much bigger life transformation? For so many high-achieving women, ditching alcohol isn't just about wellness — it's about waking up to what no longer fits. And sometimes, that includes your career. In this episode, I'm sharing what came up during a powerful VIP day with one of my private clients — a deeply intuitive, successful therapist who realized her true calling had been quietly waiting for her beneath the noise (and numbing) of alcohol. Whether you're craving more creativity, sensing new gifts coming online, or simply feeling like you're meant for something more — this one's for you. Here's what you'll hear in today's episode: Why alcohol often keeps us stuck in a life that's "good enough" — but not fully aligned What a "shadow career" is and how it might be quietly sabotaging your joy The big leap between "good at it" and "born to do it" Signs your intuitive or creative gifts are trying to come online — and how to trust them How to honor the nudge without burning it all down overnight A sneak peek at what's coming next inside the new Awaken Without Alcohol program   💫 Feeling like it might be time for your own pivot?

You did the brave thing—you broke up with alcohol. But now that you're months (maybe even years) into your alcohol-free journey… You're wondering, "Why don't I feel as amazing as I expected?" In this episode, I'm speaking straight to the woman who's already alcohol-free but still feeling stuck, uninspired, or unclear about what comes next. I'm breaking down four of the most common stuck points I see—along with gentle prompts to help you shift out of confusion and into deeper alignment with your next chapter. We'll explore: Why ditching alcohol is just the beginning—not the full transformation The slow build of manifestation, clarity, and intuition after quitting drinking Feeling unfulfilled even after making a major life change Navigating the "messy middle" between your old life and your next-level self What it means to trust your intuition (even when it feels awkward or scary) Rebuilding self-worth and honoring your core desired feelings How to spot the subtle signs you're ready for deeper work Why doing it alone can stall your growth—and how to ask for support An invitation to join the waitlist for the evolved Awaken Without Alcohol program ✨ Join the waitlist for the next round of Awaken Without Alcohol: amandakuda.com/program
