The Top 3 Fears About Quitting Drinking
It’s common and completely normal to experience fear when you stop drinking. Your body and mind have been used to this habit for so long. When all of a sudden you stop, your brain is sending a signal saying, “Hey, why are you stopping? We like the way this makes us feel.
🎙️Clear Conversations: Creative Minds in Sobriety
This week I’ll be sitting down with the incredible neon artist David Speed to talk all things sobriety and creativity.
"I was told I would never be an artist."
By day, David Speed was training kids to behave in primary school classrooms. By night, he was running down railway lines painting trains - living a double life that was tearing him apart.
The "proper job" wasn't working. The safe path felt like slow death. But when you're told you'll never make it as an artist, choosing creativity over security takes serious guts.
Now David's neon art lights up the world.
From MTV to Fortnum & Mason, from Nobu to celebrities like Shaq and Busta Rhymes - his work has gone from underground rebellion to mainstream recognition.
But here's the twist that'll give you chills: the same school system that told him he'd never be an artist? His work is now part of the art syllabus in UK schools (and one in France).
Talk about the ultimate creative rebellion.
David joins me this week to share how he transformed from reluctant teacher to internationally recognized neon artist.
David's story proves that maybe you're not as crazy as they said. Maybe art and creativity ARE more important than the school system taught you.
I watched this video on his IG with his interaction with Busta Rhymes, it is beautiful and worth the watch.
