What if your biggest productivity breakthrough isn't about adding another hack to your routine, but removing something you never questioned?
Today, I’m sharing my fascinating conversation with gray area drinking coach Sarah Rusbatch, where we explore how that seemingly harmless evening wine or weekend drinks might be quietly sabotaging your business performance. This isn't about rock-bottom stories or anti-alcohol messaging—it's about education and awareness for high-functioning professionals who want to optimise their potential.
Sarah reveals the surprising science behind how even moderate alcohol consumption can disrupt your REM sleep, leaving you with impaired cognitive function that can last up to four days after drinking. She shares her own transformation story from 2017, when taking a break from alcohol led to increased energy, clarity and business success. Her approach is refreshingly non-judgemental, focusing on empowering people with knowledge rather than lecturing about lifestyle choices.
Whether you're curious about the connection between your Friday night ritual and Monday morning productivity, or simply want to understand how alcohol might be affecting your performance, this conversation offers practical insights without the pressure. Sarah's book Beyond Booze: How to Create a Life You Love Alcohol-Free provides further guidance for those ready to experiment with a more mindful approach to drinking and discover what peak performance really feels like.
