    Guest bio:
    As a commercial fisherwoman for 37 years, Colleen was able to mask her binge drinking habit, but always underneath she knew her patterns weren't how she wanted to show up in the world. She was really out of alignment. Especially as she was aging, she didn't want to die with a drinking problem as something she was remembered by. She was able to quit on her own for approx. 3 years, but some tough life experiences gave her an excuse to turn to alcohol once again...8 years later, after alcohol crept back in with its ugly head, it was time for her to stop again. On her own, it was frightening as she wasn't making it past 5 days. Then she jumped on board This Naked Mind's The Path and with the mind shift that the program offers and all the amazing coaching, she stopped for good, entered the coaching program and now is living her most authentic self ever, at the beautiful age of 60.
