In this episode, we explore the transformative power of mindfulness and meditation to support drinking less alcohol with Simonette Vaja, a trauma-informed psychologist and mindfulness teacher. Simonette introduces her ABCD model—Attention, Breathing, Compassion, and Detox—a practical framework for fostering emotional resilience and supporting an alcohol-free lifestyle. From enhancing decision-making to cultivating inner peace, her approach offers profound insights into how mindfulness can be a cornerstone in the journey to sobriety.
Simonette introduces us to techniques like vagus nerve breathing, which activates the body’s relaxation response, and guided meditations to nurture self-compassion and overcome challenges such as perfectionism and anxiety. By addressing not only physical detox but also mental and emotional renewal, her approach provides a holistic path toward personal growth and emotional healing.
This inspiring episode highlights the profound impact of practices like Loving-Kindness Meditation, encouraging listeners to embrace self-love and deepen their emotional connections. Whether you're navigating early recovery or seeking greater balance in life, Simonette’s insights offer a roadmap to a mindful, alcohol-free life. Join us to discover how mindfulness can transform your journey toward freedom and well-being.
