This episode features Jenni Harmon, a married mom of two boys who has served in the military, spent a decade in corporate America, and dedicated many years as a stay-at-home mom. For the past seven years, Jenni has been teaching yoga and mindfulness workshops while also creating and selling art. She is currently writing her first book. In her early 40s, Jenni experienced a profound shift. Tired of sitting around and drinking, she realized life was slipping by, prompting a significant change. This turning point, which she calls her midlife awakening, began with one word that sparked a journey of self-discovery. Jenni started questioning every decision in her life, including her choice to drink alcohol. She recounts her journey from a routine marred by alcohol to a fulfilling life marked by yoga, mindfulness, and artistic expression. This episode delves into her transformation, from struggles with moderation to the lasting impact of the word ‘unapologetic’ on her life. We chat about:
The role of alcohol in her early life How the military impacted Jenni’s drinking Struggling with moderation What has been most helpful for staying alcohol free Embracing an unapologetic life And more!

After a lot of thought I’ve decided to pause the podcast and live Alcoholiday groups (just cannot bring myself to say end them, because, who knows?) It’s been a great run of 200+ podcasts and 42ish Alcoholidays (wow!!) I just celebrated my 5 years of alcohol freedom and I’m ready to focus in a different direction. What that is- I don’t know yet, but I do know I need to be part of something bigger than me and have meaningful in real life connection and community. In this last podcast I reflect on my last 5 years of sobriety and ATP and go into more of an explanation of making this decision. Thank you so much for listening and being part of the ATP community. I just can't express my thanks enough. I would not have kept doing this if it weren't for you all. Please remember- you are not broken and you can change. Much love and gratitude, Deb Ready to change your drinking habit? Visit Alcohol Tipping Point website at http://www.alcoholtippingpoint.com/ for lots of FREE resources including:
