Content Warning: Alcohol Abuse + Mental Health Welcome to Episode 5 of the Jordan Lang Podcast! We are continuing Season 1’s theme of emotional and mental wellness with today’s episode which is a conversation on Mental Health and Sobriety with Mei McIntosh. Mei is the founder of The Creative Sober, an online community of sober & sober-curious creatives. She founded the brand under her media company to create something meaningful, honest, and in service to others while encouraging collaboration. The definition of business has been a progressive shift over the years. Mei thrived in corporate America and continually advanced into leadership positions but found that no matter what the title was or how much money she made, it underwhelmed and left them feeling empty. Instead of executing hard lines of strategy, she now connects dots of possibilities and is conscious of approaching business that resonates with the highest good of everyone involved. There is a lot of vulnerability and sacrifice in that type of mindset, but the reward comes from continuous growth, soulful satisfaction, and abundance.
Episode 05 Touches On:
- Mei’s journey of sobriety and where they’re at now
- The connection between sobriety and mental health
- Ways in which Mei has been able to support sober creatives
- Some common misconceptions about sobriety
- Ways to support yourself and/or loved ones who are choosing sobriety
- AND MORE!
Quotes from this episode:
- If you look at our culture, alcohol is everywhere. it’ s ingrained in our rituals, our routine. It’s something we have when we’re enjoying. It’s something if we’re feeling down or wanting to check out. There’s so many ways to utilize alcohol and to have a drink, that for me it was just so easy to fall back into it. It was very accessible.
- I found myself neglecting what my emotional and mental needs were instead of addressing that and feeling them all the way through. Asking for help or going to tools that I did previously learn, I was just reaching for a drink and wanted to go into a scene where I was checking out.
- For someone to be conscious and understand what alcohol is and what it does to the body spiritually and mentality, it’s profound. It’s literally ethanol that you’re putting in your body. It’s very low-vibe. It blocks you vibrationally, spiritually, connecting to higher-source, it’s a low vibe thing to be putting in your body. That’s what it was for me.
