The Wakeup Call That Changed My Entire Life - Sarah Rusbatch
One morning in my 40s, I woke up to my 5-year-old asking, “Mum… what happened to your face?”
The night before, I’d been at a friend’s 40th birthday, and something happened that changed the course of my life completely. What followed was years of trying and failing, but it led me to where I am now: happier, healthier, stronger, bolder and wiser. If you’ve followed me for a while you may have heard this story, but today I’m sharing details I haven’t spoken about before, to give you permission to question what isn’t working for you, stop wondering how you ended up here and take back control.
The big ideasKey Takeaways
- 01Sometimes it takes one morning, one moment or one question to realise something has to change.
- 02Changing your relationship with alcohol is rarely a straight line. Trying and failing is part of the process, not proof you can’t do it.
- 03You have permission to question what isn’t working and take back control of your life.
